Reviews
Dave Rogers WTJU 102.9 FM, Richmond, VA
"Here's a group on a mission: let's take some old jazz and op songs and make them swing, really swing!"
Midwest Jazz Record
"...a crew of Milwaukee jazzbos through a delightfully mixed big band program, they hit it right out of the box with a swinging, commercial energy that's inclusive and invites everyone into the tent - particularly if they want to hear some killer blowing, all home grown and away from the beaten path. High octane, high energy, and a high old grand time. Well done."
Jazz Times
"...well played...very good hard-pop-oriented performer...Curt Hanrahan plays flexible, dark-toned tenor"
Jack Bowers, All About Jazz
"...a sprightly studio session that proves above all that the art of swinging remains operative and well in Milwaukee."
