Gap Mangione - The Big Band (Josh Music JM-2024):
[December 1997] -- Rochester, New York, keyboardist Gap delivers a fine big-band release. Highlights include a swingin' tune called "Groovin' For Nat," the island-flavored "Calypso For Janet," the Latin-tinged "Bernie's Tune," and a fun arrangement of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" that borrows a phrase from brother Chuck. Fine band that includes Steve Gadd and John Patitucci. Ain't nothin' better than a hard-blowin' big band.
