Title: small band big sound
Review: On January 29, 2000 KCSM, the bay area's 24hr jazz station, had Phil's band invited for their listener party at he college of San Mateo Auditorium. I had never heard of the band nor I knew anything about Phil and his jazz history, but boy this 10 musicians were serious about what they were about to deliver. The brass section was crystal clear and the solos were dynamic and intricate enough to make anybody be able to tap along. The reed section was just as synchronized and articulate as any of the great bands of the 40's and 50's. The rhythm section kept the pace just the way The Count's band knew how. If you like the sounds of the big band era you will enjoy this music in its entirety.
