BIG BANDS ARE GREAT, BUT IN THE RIGHT HANDS, A TERRIFIC SEPTET LIKE THIS ONE HOLDS ITS OWN TO MOST BIG BANDS! EVERY GUY IN THE BAND IS A MONSTER! OVER THE YEARS I HAD PERSONAL MUSICAL CONTACT WITH BOTH BOB SUMMERS AND ANDY MARTIN...I'VE ADMIRED ALL THE REST OF THE CATS FOR YEARS...GREAT BAND, AND GREAT WRITING BY BILL! FIVE STARS AND 1/2!!
This is an all star date. Rickey Woodard is just incredible and really stands out amongst a group of lesser known giants.

Sounds great. Krybeck's snare has a touch too much ring. Great band!
