Title: Terrific arrangements make this special
Review: What makes this album work so well - and it is a beauty - are the superb arrangements, mainly done by Rob Pronk, for each of the 10 songs performed. The Netherlands Metropole Orchestra is a fairly large group, with a full contingent of strings along with lots of horns, yet the arrangements are limber and airy enough to allow the group to swing. They are also very inventive and imaginative. Shank plays on half the tunes, Coop on the other half, and they are as hip as they've ever been. I found this CD to be a most attractive item. Well done!
