THE NUMBER ONE BIG BAND IN THE WORLD IS PHAT
Review created: 08/02/06
by: mike.holmes -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Great songs, great arrangements and great performances + a great DVD
Cons: None
This is the second "Big Phat Band" album that I've reviewed. I reviewed "XXL" on 1/28/04. The only album from the band that I haven't reviewed is their first, "Swingin' For the fences". My title gives away how I feel about this band. Now, there are not all that many big bands playing these days. There are "ghost" bands of some of the old bands such as Glenn Miller's but those bands generally re-play the same music in the same styles as the originals. There's nothing wrong with that. The music still swings and brings back old memories. Contrast, Gordon's Goodwin's Big Phat Band with the bands..
