Title: Great arrangements, outstanding performance, wonderful engineering!
Review: I still have this album on vinyl when I bought it around 1982. Best recording of the 70's-80's era line up of McConnell's band."Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" is so wonderful with great use of the woodwinds."The Waltz I Blew For You" has become a festival favorite among ambitious high school and college jazz bands."Twist of the Wrist", swings it's back quarter off!Phil Sheriden's mixing, while very "studio-like" captures the precision with a well mixed warmth.Only thing I never could stand about the drummer was his "rock star" tom-heavy fills, but that's my personal taste.One of the few big band albums that has that well mixed "ear-candy" while presenting some beautiful music.Paul Roberts - Composer/Arranger - Kansas City
