Album Review

For this effort, trumpeter Doc Severinsen, in one of his rare recordings away from a big band format, teams up with the reeds of Ernie Watts, guitarist Lee Ritenour, a variety of studio musicians and a large string orchestra to perform crossover-oriented music.

This is my favorite jazz album, period. The arrangements are just awesome and the musicians offer world class performances. For those who think of Doc as big band, give this one a try. I promise you will not be dissapointed. Buy it now. It's probably one of the best jazz albums you'll ever hear.

The arrangements may be routine, but the playing is anything but. Listening to Severinsen one realizes this musician is incapable of being routine. Masterfully sanguine perhaps, but never, ever routine!
