THE REVIEWERS ARE SAYING:

(Click on links to read entire review)


"The New Vintage Big Band is one of a dwindling number of large jazz ensembles in the Midwest carrying on the noble tradition of solid big band playing – with distinction.  Their first CD,  "Always And Forever," features precision ensemble, fine arrangements and outstanding recording quality.  It is recommended, especially to those who enjoy first rate big band music." -- Mike Metheny, Editor, KC JAM magazine, http://www.jazzkc.org

"…the first truly outstanding big band recording of the 21st Century!  Expertly arranged, produced, and recorded, "Always And Forever" interprets music from the libraries of Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, and Ted Heath while also covering such contemporary composers and arrangers as Pat Metheny, Bob Curnow, Sammy Nestico, and Matt Harris.  I'll be listening many more times to this great CD!”
-- Robert J. Robbins, USA Secretary, Big
Bands International

"A rich, swinging trove of substance joined with style - commanding one's attention to move from brief to long-term interest.  The charts and spirited performances on this CD generously reward repeated listening."
-- Herb Wong, IAJE Resource Team Member - Radio / Recordings

“…some of the best arrangements available...an excellent bravura set which will delight big band fans.  I am astonished at the quality of the playing - the brass section is to die for!  14 tracks, 78+ minutes - you won't get better 'bang for your buck'."
-- John Killoch, "Mainly Big Bands",
http://www.j.r.killoch.btinternet.co.uk

"This exciting contemporary big band from the Midwest has some great performances that you need to hear.  This recording features charts originally written for Maynard, Buddy Rich and others.  Some great section work and solos by the whole band, but the show is the outstanding lead trumpet work and solos by former Chase, Kenton and Herman trumpeter Jay Sollenberger.  A great album."
- Kevin Seeley,
