Common Men by The Brian Pastor Big Band - Uhune

ALBUM

Trombonist Brian Pastor, who is responsible for around half of the arrangements on this set along with two of the originals, leads a hard-driving and swinging big band. While the music is conventional, fitting into the modern mainstream of big-band jazz, the musicianship is impressive, the charts are colorful, the solos are mostly heated, and the overall spirit of the Brian Pastor Big Band is infectious. The key soloists include Andrew Neu on tenor, trumpeters Rick Gazda and Chuck Gottesman, altoist Kaj Hansen and Pastor himself with Grant Garfuss taking a vocal on the closing "Make Someone Happy." Fans of modern big bands will enjoy Common Men.
