band / ensemble / orchestraAbout
Combining the big-band swing of the 1930s and â40s with contemporary music such as funk and jazz fusion, the Big Phat Band, led by pianist/saxophonist/arranger Gordon Goodwin, is a national phenomenon, a âwinning combination of impeccable musicianship and pop savvyâ (JazzTimes). Goodwinâs charts bubble over with melodic ingenuity and infectious rhythms.
âRarely are big bands like Gordon Goodwinâs Big Phat Band so able to combine such a diversity of influences into such a tantalizing mixâ â AllMusic.com
