Somewhere along the way he developed a taste for a sound seldom played by jazz musicians today. This new ensemble seeks to create a small group sound grounded in the rhythm feel of the swing era. With arrangements and rearrangements of the music of jazz luminaries such as Benny Carter, Count Basie, Bennie Moten, Lionel Hampton, Mary Lou Williams and John Kirby... Well, hot dog! It's sure to delight....
