"If your mojo is in need of some brightness, you can find no better source of such sunshine than the joyous music of the The Peter Herbolzheimer Orchestra. Long one of the top big band/jazz musician/arrangers and educators in Europe (in Germany, actually) Peter Herbolzheimer has finally achieved US distribution through Alanna Records of Pittsburgh. Thank you, Pittsburgh! Hooray. Here you have two of the happiest chunks of listening you'll ever find. The second cut on Toots Suite is ||I Won't Dance||. I wore myself out just dancing in my mind. You might not dance, but you won't be able to sit still, either! There's also a major bluesy rendition of the Duke's classic ||Mood Indigo|| on this disc that is worth the cost of the CD just for that. ||It Don't Mean A Thing||, ||Hit The Road Jack||, and ||Teach Me Tonight|| will quickly take you back to those good old days when this kind of music was the norm. The happy norm! You will love this CD!
