Over the holidays, Joe Muccioli, director of the Jazz Arts Project and the Red Bank Jazz Orchestra, who we produce the Sinatra Birthday Bash with, gave me a copy of the RBJO’s new CD, Strike Up the Band!
The more I listen to the CD, the more I really like it. They recorded it live in a studio, so it’s got a really great vibe and a terrific warm sound. You can tell the musicians were feeding off of each other. It sounds like listening to a classic jazz album from the 50’s. You can picture the tenor sax player with one of those old giant cardioid microphones practically stuck right down the bell of his horn. If you’re interested you can find Strike Up the Band! on iTunes, cdbaby.com or at the Jazz Arts Project's Store Website.
