Allison Miller with the One O'Clock Lab Band: Big & Lovely
Accanto a brani nuovi abbiamo versioni orchestrali di temi registrati dalla Miller nell'album di Artemis In Real Time e nel suo Rivers in Our Veins. Pur essendo una big band studentesca il confronto è quanto mai positivo: gli arrangiamenti sono generalmente dinamici e ricchi di colore e lasciano spazio all'estro dei giovani solisti. L'estetica di fondo è quella del modern mainstream orchestrale e il collettivo si rivela un organismo compatto e dalla fresca personalità, sia nei collettivi che negli interventi dei singoli.
Il propulsivo drumming della Miller caratterizza tutti i brani e si rivela un supporto essenziale. Tra i solisti si mettono particolarmente in luce Ken Ebo al trombone, Gabriel Nieves al sax tenore, Carly Stock al sax contralto, Ian Weidmann al clarinetto, Jake Nalangan al pianoforte.
