 Stan Kenton Alumni BandHAVE BAND WILL TRAVEL [SUMMIT 535] 'Stan Kenton's legacy is in good hands... The music takes on new life and new meaning, as it should, to keep Stan's music alive and perpetuate the roots of American jazz history. Altogether, the ensemble and soloist work on the CD exhibits the band's love and respect for the man who brought us his own unique approach to jazz'. - Sammy Nestico |

 Gateway Chamber EnsembleWIND SERENADES [SUMMIT 538] 'Of the recorded performances I know of the Mozart...I would pick the new Gateway Chamber Ensemble out of the pack, not only for its refined playing, but for finding that elusive balance between the music's high-spirited playfulness and its sensuous soulfulness. Merriment and melancholy mix in matched measure in Mozart's masterpiece...For wind playing par excellence, this release receives the strongest recommendation.' - Fanfare |
