Negative Positive
Title: Like I mentioned before...where's the BOX SET?
Review: It's rather hard to believe that one of the best, and baddest, Big Bands of the modern era could have 5 seperate LPs, CDs out there of their stuff, and yet no deluxe Box Set, replete with pictures, info, etc...(are you listening, PROPER?). This CD, along with the rest, just simply rips, roars, and romps through a variety of jazz standards (including "Airegin", "Avalon", "It Might As Well Be Spring", and, of course, "Flying Home") with ease, humor, and plain old swing. This is an "uncompromising, 'kicks' band", as plainly stated on the liner notes to the LP, by John Tynan - and man does it ever show! Do yourself a favor...pick up at least one of the five volumes out there and see for yourself what all my fussin' is about.
Is the review positive or negative?
