Title: HBO Special
Product review: I was on this band from 1984-'85. A real kick-ass band: Bob Slack (lead), John Harbough & Rick Winslow (trpts.); John Reilly (woodwinds), John Cross(tn.sx); Phil Tulga & Bob McChesney (Tbn.) rhythm section wasDave Iwataki (synth); John (rhythm guitar; Dave Witham (keyboard; Frankie DiVino (drums); Enrique Touissant(bass guitar), Euqenio Touissant (solo piano); "Morty" Jenkins (backup soloist) & Luis Conte (latin percussion.I believe this video was recorded in New Haven, CN at Schubert Theatre(?) Many of arrangements were by famous arr./comp., e.g. Billy May, Nelson Riddle, Don Costa, Jerry Hey. Most of the instrumentalists were conservatory trained musicians from schools like I.U. and Eastman Schools of Music. For a "live" recorded commercial album,it is quite musical and exciting.
