I was at this performance and really enjoyed the Falconaires - they are much more than just "decent: IMHO. I found the conducting a bit distracting...I find Maria's conducting somewhat distracting too... but I must confess I always liked to watch Thad Jones conduct... he did it differently.
Very nice track; the Falconaires are a decent big band.
Chie, have you watched any other big band performances? Swing bands, assuming the members have learned to listen to each other, don't *need* a conductor directing every measure.
just played a show with these guys tonight. great tune and great band!

Nice job! ...But, I want to see a video of Crump doing his one-man marching band show.

You mean like Maria Schneider? I don't hear anyone complaining about her band.
