• Herb Pomeroy's brassy, exciting 16 piece powerhouse was a Boston institution.

• The band sought variety, rather than being a prisoner of any one style and there was a stunning roster of soloists including the leader, Joe Gordon, Charlie Mariano, Lenny Johnson et al. Are further plus was Zoot Sims' guest appearance as a tenor soloist on the first album.

• Any big band fan is sure to enjoy this set tremendously

Reviews

Jazz Journal - Bruce Crowther

This is first-rate big-band jazz solidly in the mainstream of that movement and this reissue is very welcome and strongly recommended to JJ's core readership.
