A tour de force for jazz enthusiasts -- and Disney Record fans!, January 23, 2007
By Gregory Ehrbar "mousetracksonline.com" (Orlando, FL)
Born in Hollywood, Baranger played with the best in the business, and enlisted some of them for this album, including trumpet virtuoso Arturo Sandoval. Impressive vocals are performed wonderfully by Gisele Jackson and Frank Sinatra, Jr. Even TV pioneer and prolific composer Steve Allen introduces one of his own songs.
Big Band with great guests including Frank Sinatra Jr., August 10, 1998
Reviewer: A music fan
If you like big band style music with a "punch", you'll love this cd. I picked up the disc for a few reasons: 1) curiosity (the cd seemed to stick out) 2) a great quote from Mel Torme on the front ..."a fantastic band" - that definitely sparked my interest 3) great guests including Frank Sinatra Jr., Arturo Sandoval, Tom Kubis (tonight show band), Gisele Jackson (wow, can she sing)...and a really neat spoken intro and piano "appetizer" from none other than Steve Allen...
