Bob Florence Limited Edition / Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band / Dana Legg Stage Band / John Burnett Swing Orchestra
by Jack Bowers
Bob Florence Limited Edition Legendary MAMA 2009 “Legendary" is a word that is often misused and shamelessly over-used, and in this case entirely appropriate. Even though composer / arranger / pianist Bob Florence is no longer with us, and wasn't in the studio when his Limited Edition recorded ...

by Jack Bowers
Resonance Big Band Plays Tribute to Oscar Peterson Resonance Records 2009 First things first: there will never be another Oscar Peterson. Period.

Stardust Melody: The Life and Times of Hoagy Carmichael
by Bob Jacobson
Stardust Melody Richard M. Sudhalter Oxford Univ Press ISBN 0195131207 I approached Stardust Melody skeptically. With two Carmichael autobiographies recently re-released, did we really need this biography? Could Sudhalter, so steeped in Hoagy Carmichael's music as a trumpteter/bandleader, be objective about the composer's music?Would the author ...
