The big-band sound is alive and well -- a zestful collection of crisply recorded jazz classics and Mangione originals.
Product Description
Pianist-arranger-composer Gap Mangione has just released Planet Gap, the debut CD of The Big Band, the seventh album under his name, but the first to feature the rousing, free-spirited jazz of his 14-piece band. With this album release, Gap will bring broader national attention to a talented, distinctively Mangione orchestra that's been a fixture in its upstate New York birthplace throughout the 1990's.
On Planet Gap, Mangione brings together many of the musical ideas and infectious enthusiasm which have put him on the bandstand and on recordings with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Steve Gadd, Larry Carlton and, of course, his brother, Chuck Mangione, in a career spanning four decades.
