Bill
Allred's Classic Jazz Band newest and most exciting album.
This eighth album for the band is loaded with incredible
arrangements and equally incredible playing. A collection
of some of the songs this band has been playing for almost
ten years, but never recorded, along with some brand-spanking-new
charts. This collection is smooth, exciting, and beautifully
recorded. With many of Matty Matlock's and Billy Maxted's
arrangements and some new ones by Randy Morris, Dave
Wolpe, Scott Whitfield, Ed Gaston, and Bill Allred, there
is a wonderful variety of styles here. Note also that
their three piano players all have solo features on this
recording. All of these musicians are comfortable and
confident and each one of them plays with musicality
and alertness. This is a terrific representation of The
Classic Jazz Band at it's best.
