Manhattan Jazz Orchestra was created by pianist/arranger David Matthews and an accomplished Japanese producer Shigeyuki Kawashima (both GRAMMY winners) in 1989. It is one of the premier and most prolific big bands in the US, having released more than 13 CDs over the years.

For Swing, Swing, Swing, recorded in 2006, Matthews and his big band chose as materials tunes written by and associated with Quincy Jones ("Ironside," "Ai No Corrida") and Glenn Miller ("Moonlight Serenade") for the first time. They also pay tribute to the great big bands led by Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillispie and Benny Goodman. The title tune is Matthews' original that takes a nostalgic look back at the big band era. The all-star band, including star players Lew Soloff, Ryan Kisor, Randy Brecker, Jim Pugh and Chris Hunter, plays Matthews' intricate scores with technical perfection and provide inspired solos. Recommended for fans of the contemporary big band sound!

  2. Thanks Giulia, this one was also on my wishlist, but I didn't want to be too greedy and ask for two re-ups at the same time, so a nice surprise!
