Louie Bellson's
big bands are always hot and explosive, if not all that surprising. This 1987 CD features four originals by the drummer, three obscurities, and an opening
"Caravan"
that has solo space for guest flugelhornist
Clark Terry
, the great tenor
Don Menza
and
Bellson
. The other selections feature such talented soloists as trumpeters
Brian O'Flaherty
Glenn Drewes
,
George Young
on alto and soprano, altoist
Joe Roccisano
Kenny Hitchcock
on tenor, and pianist
John Bunch
. The 17-piece big band mixes together veterans with comparative youngsters and has many names familiar to followers of
Bellson's
orchestras. An above-average effort from the swinging crew. ~ Scott Yanow
