Music reviews of A Stan Kenton Christmas
Music Review: A Stan Kenton Christmas by the Capitol Bones Big Band
Rating: 5 Stars
I just received in the mail today, another one of those MUST HAVE CD'S for all trombonists, that being "A Stan Kenton Christmas" by the Capitol Bones Big Band. This is some of the old Kenton/Ralph Charmichael charts, plus some new, additional Christmas charts for trumpets, bones, mellophones and rhythm section. The Capitol Bones Big Band is under the direction of former Dayton, OH arranger and trombonist, Mark Taylor. Some great trombone jazz by Jay Gibble, Matt Niess, and Jim McFalls. The trombone section is Matt, Jay, Jim, Todd Baldwin, with bass bones, Jerry Amoury & Jeff Cortazzo.The last track, "Away in a Manger", arranged by Tony Nalker, is just the bones, without accompaniment. The bass bones sound like pipe organs---beautiful playing!!! This would make a great Christmas gift for the trombone/brass player who has everything.
The big band playing is really awesome with some of the finest Washington D.C./ U.S. Army Blues Big Band brass players used on this CD. I also found the mellophones to be much better "in-tune" than the original Kenton Christmas Album, which was recorded back in the late 1960's, by Kenton.
If this new CD doesn't get you into the Christmas Spirit, nothing will!
