Review by Scott Yanow
The best of his Fantasy releases of the '70s, this well-rounded CD is highlighted by a great jam on "Reunion at Newport" and strong soloing from
Herman (on soprano and clarinet), pianist
Harold Danko, trumpeter
Bill Stapleton and the tenors of
Gregory Herbert and
Frank Tiberi. The
Herman orchestra performs a couple of modern ballads ("Alone Again Naturally" and "Summer of '42"), some blues and a few swinging numbers, showing off their versatility with expertise and spirit. ~
