Search - Craig Raymond & The Next Generation Big Band :: Big Band Concert and Frank Sinatra Tribute

In December 2002 we released a hot new big band CD titled "It's our Time" by Craig Raymond and The Next Generation Band!! We have received raves from far and wide-U.S./England/Spain/Australia /Canada and more. The questions we have been constsantly asked are, " When can we have more of this great band?" " when can we expect more?" "Let me know when he (Craig) does 'this' again!" Here is our answer! Presenting a sensational release by Craig Raymond's band, featuring a marvelous singing talent Lou Dattoli. A chance meeting between Lou and Craig led to an idea, a rehearsal, a presentation to a producer, and a hit performance that created this recording. Brodway producer, Pat Julian's letter to Craig. "I want to take this time to thank you for one of the hottest big band nights we've ever had at Mt. Gretna. Your "big band concert and Frank Sinatra tribute" sold out faster than any big band we have ever presented, and Lou Datolli's performance was truly in a class by! itself. The resemblance, as the Critic said, was scary! Frankly, we all believe that your show is far superior Than either "Our Sinatra", or, "My Way", which are "legit" shows playing nationally. Our best to you and to your entire group. Very truly yours, Pat Julian, Gretna Productions, PA. Great songs include, It's A Wonderful World, Summer Wind, Polka Dots And Moon Beams, Girl From Ipanema, Street Of Dreams, and more..
