Happy big band New Year! 😄Still postin' 2024 albums.
"Saxophonist Bobby Selvaggio's arrangements trade in tight charts yet loose-fitting solos. The discipline the ensemble displays allows for this freedom.... With his latest release, he presents seven new compositions, arranged for his 11-piece Cleveland band, all dedicated to his son Julian, with his wife Chelsea's vocals on two tracks"
This is Bobby's ~9th album since 1999. Based in Cleveland, Ohio, he has a day job as Director of Jazz Studies at Kent State University. Bobby's: website ; Discogs ; Allmusic.
This is on the Big Band 2024 and Jazz Best Albums 2024 playlists at Spotify/Jazz Todayish.
