Amazon.co.uk Review
A nine-piece band made up of some of the finest modern- mainstream players anywhere in the world, although they all happen to be British. The leader and principal arranger is Alan Barnes, a phenomenally accomplished musician with the rare quality of being at home in virtually any style. His alto and baritone saxophone playing, not to mention his clarinet, lies at the heart of these 14 pieces. The material ranges all the way from Kid Ory's "Savoy Blues" to Joe Zawinul's "Birdland" and the sheer variety of orchestral effects created with just nine instruments is little short of miraculous. Zephyr Records, which released its first CD in 1996, has created a strong identity for itself by building up what amounts to a repertory company of top players, combining them in different ways and adding artists. The most constant presence of all is pianist Brian Lemon, who appears on every single Zephyr release so far, and whose imaginative, discreet but firm playing sets the prevailing tone. This is Zephyr's biggest and most ambitious undertaking to date and it succeeds brilliantly. --Dave Gelly
