Synopsis

Amazon.com's Best of 2000
Chicago's 8 Bold Souls are local legends on their home turf. Saxophonist and leader Ed Wilkerson's got an ear for dizzying sonorities, mixing tuba, cello, bass, drums, brass, and reeds in swooning, sweeping displays and then leading them into heated, richly pressing tunes that gallop and sprint and hop. This band is one of jazz's hidden treasures, and Last Option is an endless feast. --Andrew Bartlett

(5 out of 5 stars)

"First, let me inform everyone that the cd is titled Last Option, not Last Opinion. This is one of my favorite cds, probably the favourite little big band cd I own. The harmonies and interplay are from something 40 or 50 years ago but the sounds and melodies are very much in the present. The music often gets close to the edge without ever going completely over it, like that ride in the water park that my kids insist going on but I don't trust."
