The University of Central Florida’s Flying Horse Big Band has just released their eighth album on Flying Horse Records entitled, Big Man On Campus. Directed by saxophonist, composer and arranger Jeff Rupert, the big band welcomes tenor saxophonist and composer Harry Allen. Allen penned several originals and arrangements. The Flying Horse Big Band is a well-oiled machine that features an abundance of brilliant soloists: saxophonists Saul Dautch, Andy Garcia and Gabe Wallace, guitarist Ryan Waszmer, trumpet players Alex Lewis and Josh Toler, pianist Mudel Honoré and upcoming trombonists Christian Herrera and Lentzy Jean-Louis create a swinging sound that goes beyond nostalgia into an updated sound boundless with well-conceived ideas....
