Re: Swing Era or Modern Era?

you know I should really read the title of posts... I'm an idiot. You're talking 'bout big bands.

I love most big bands but my three favs are:

1. Bob Brookmeyer's bands. What an orchestrator!
2. Maria Schneider. wow
3. Thad/Mel.


I could go without Gordon Goodwin's stuff. It's highly overwritten IMO. The music doesn't breathe.
