I would love the girls play something more contemporary by Maria Schneider, Thad Jones, Bob Brookmeyer or later Bill Holman or something from the Vanguard Orchestra. Except for the doublings I think they could pull it off.
the download link for this video on the B.F.J.O.'s "Joy of Swing" Website is not working. Pity,as it is one of my favourites.
Are there plans to make all the videos available via that website? Would especially like to have the concert performance of CUTE and the outdoor version of SING,SING,SING.
Excellent Bass Trombone and Bari players! Saxes have amazing balance when playing that sweet harmony together. Overall balance excellent. Dynamics, tone, concious of other sections of the band playing. Definatly 5 stars from me!
