Search - Pratt Brothers Big Band, Gambarini :: 16 Men & A Chick Singer Swingin

Awesome band and singer

C.A. Arthur | Tacoma, Washington | 05/08/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is big band swinging at its highest level. The New York musicians are first rate and are led by former Buddy Rich bandsmen Dean and Michael Pratt. Roberta Gambarini, who appears on four cuts, is the best vocalist now in jazz and one of the best female vocalists ever. Be sure not to miss the diatribe in the notes by Dean Pratt about the sorry state of today's popular culture and the culpability of music company executives in this sorry mess.



A five star album."

One Sizzling Smoking Big Band Sound

"The Pratt brothers have put together one heck of a CD that really swings and burns the charts with their music. Roberta sings like an angel and adds a mellow flavor to what is primarily a contemporary big band sound. One of the best CDs in my collection. Can't get enough, I play it all the time. Highly recommended."

High Energy--great mainstream

"A great upbeat & inventive band with great jazz hooks & vituosity. Roberta sings great-- just wish there was more of her. I highly anticipate her own solo

album later in '05, but this will do in the meantime & the Pratt Brs. deserve a lot

of attention too. Fine stuff IMO."
