Oh, man, this wild and woolly, rough and ready band swings all the others into the shade. They growl and moan, shout and sob, loose as a goose and tight like that, with a powerhouse rhythm section of just piano, bass, and guitar that lays it down with a feeling. This isn't just "Swing;" it's jazz from the deepest roots of New Orleans, and it totally sends me. amoore58
Glenn Crytzer gathered a cadre of great jazz musicians for the dual purpose of bringing joy to their audience and income to the out-of-work performers. This album exudes so much goodwill, merriment and musicality! It's not just a great album, it's also a remarkable recording considering each of the "secluded seven" recorded their parts individually, yet they sound so tight. Go pick up your copy! It will make you so happy! Jeudi
