A Swingin' Affair, A Tribute to Bob Florence, May 23, 2009

Thank you so much for posting this. I think Bob Florence is probably my favorite modern big band composer. All of his wonderful voicings, colors and instrumentation in his writing always brings a smile. Just stellar writing. And what a fantastic band with many of Florence’s original band.

So much to love about this concert. One of my favorites is Don Shelton's comment at 1:07:40, after one of the shout choruses in Carmelo's By The Freeway. I believe he's referring to the trumpet section when he says, "They're my boys!" Couldn't agree more.

A band of giants playing music written by a giant.

Sounds great; a bit disappointed with the music stands in front of their faces though.
