Jazz
Recorded at Digital Brothers Studios, Costa Mesa, California from September 7-9, 1999
Dan Barrett (arranger, trombone); Rebecca Kilgore (vocals); John Smith (soprano & alto saxophones); Brian Ogilive (tenor saxophone, clarinet); Jon-Erik Kellso (trumpet); Eddie Erickson (banjo, guitar); Ray Sherman (piano); Joel Forbes (upright bass); Jeff Hamilton (drums).
After having played concerts, festivals and parties as a soloist in recent years with many of the top jazz players in the world, Dan Barrett has hand picked a band out of his favorites among them. The result is Blue Swing, a collection of brilliant individuals who have developed the cohesion and that rare combination of relaxation and precision achieved only by the great jazz organizations. "If this CD doesn't earn them a solid place on the new-millennial jazz scene, we're in trouble."
--- Jim Leigh, a novelist & journalist whose monthly column "West Coasting" appears in the Mississippi Rag. |
