MUSIC REVIEW BY George W Harris, Jazz Weekly

Trumpeter Brad Goode leads strong and classy 16 team big band through a mix of originals and standards, all conducted under John Davis' baton. The charts keep your interest, and the band has its own signature sound, with punching accents on the bluesy bopper "Goose Chase" and a strong collection of sections that build up on the title tune, with Goode taking a solo that swerves like an entranced cobra. A take of Charlie Parker's "Ornithology" has an easy swagger to it, with some lovely trumpet work by Emily Hartrampf on "Cabin In The Sky". Some hip fusion grooves are produced on the lurking "Just A Thought" and a more elegiac "I Can't Forget About You" letting electric guitarist Tim Wendel dig in a bit. If this band hits the road, someone's gotta let me know.
