ALBUM REVIEW
Any short list of the best big bands of the last 25 years would have to include Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass. The band has made many superb records over that time, but the two made for for the German MPS label in 1979-80, are, in my opinion, the Best of the Boss Brass. If you've never heard this band this is the place to start. The band really reaches its peak on these recordings. Everything about this CD is superb. McConnell's arrangements are mainstream-modern big band jazz, very listenable but with enough unexpected twists to keep everyone on their toes. The recorded sound is magificent and the ensemble playing is just breath-taking. Every track is a gem. This is as good as it gets.
