Raul Romero and His Jazz Stars Orchestra: Moon Trip 2000, 2nd Edition
by Jack Bowers
As the late Raul Romero is one of my favorite unsung big–band composer / arrangers, it saddens me to report that the second edition of Moon Trip 2000 by his Jazz Stars Orchestra is notably less pleasing than the first, which was reviewed about a year or so ago. The fault lies not with the music ...

This reissue on Americatone is much better, both sonically and aesthetically. Masters has fashioned his ensemble ...
Sam Trippe and His Jazz Orchestra: Explosion!
by Jack Bowers
This reissue on Americatone by Sam Trippe's orchestra was recorded more than forty years ago, shortly before Trippe and his wife, Dorothy, were killed in an auto accident, which accounts for its LP—like 30:40 playing time. Trippe's ensemble was modeled closely on that of Woody Herman—not a bad model at all—and Trippe was convinced he had ...
Raul Romero and His Jazz Stars Orchestra: Moon Trip 2000
by Jack Bowers
In spite of its futuristic (and somewhat misleading) title, Moon Trip 2000 wasn’t recorded last year, or anywhere near it. Raul Romero, a splendid saxophonist and even better writer who logged time with big bands led by Woody Herman, Maynard Ferguson, Gene Krupa and Benny Goodman, among others, before settling in Las Vegas in 1955, succumbed ...
