Rick Culver: Painted Scarves
by Jim Santella
Light standards with a big band sentiment bring Rick Culver's acoustic mainstream session into focus. Together, the trio creates lovely moods that blend in harmony. When soloing, each artist steps out without straying too far from the familiar melodies. Arranged by the leader, each piece benefits from scripted trio passages that bring the listener to a ...
The DiMartino/Osland Jazz Orchestra: Off The Charts
by Jim Santella
The contrast between the voices of Miles Osland and Vince DiMartino makes this edition of big band arrangements more adventuresome than most. Recorded at the University of Kentucky's Singletary Center a year ago, this is one brings out the best yet from Lexington's Arts capital. Osland “sings" through his horn with a blues-tinged expression that recalls ...
Dave Eshelman's Jazz Garden Big Band: Milagro's Journey
by Jack Bowers

This may have something ...
The Dan McMillion Jazz Orchestra: Got the Spirit
by Jack Bowers
Remember those electrifying big bands of 40 or so years ago presided over by peerless high–note trumpeter Maynard Ferguson? Thought you’d heard the last of them? Wrong! The remarkable MF sound lives on, thanks to another outstanding trumpeter, Dan McMillion, and his brawny Florida–based Jazz Orchestra, who’ve definitely got the “Maynard Ferguson spirit” on this, their ...
The DiMartino/Osland Jazz Orechestra: Off the Charts

Vince DiMartino is a graduate of the University of Kentucky's very fine jazz studies program headed by Miles Osland. He shares billing with Osland on this CD which has more than 75 minutes of outstanding, disciplined and exciting big band music.
