Read "Snowfall: A Jazz Compass Christmas Celebration" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

Read "Fantazm" reviewed by Jack Bowers


Fantazm is the second album by the John La Barbera Big Band, following last year's impressive debut, On the Wild Side. While the songs are new, almost everything else, we are happy to report, remains invariable--even the band's personnel is essentially the same, with guitarist Larry Koonse added on two tracks.
