Trombonist Dan Barrett leads his Extra-Celestials on a set of spirited small-group swing. The repertoire is full of obscurities (including Benny Carter's "Scratch My Back" and Red McKenzie's "Georgianna," "Mound Bayou," and "Mama, That Moon Is Here Again") and a few superior standards. Barrett (who also plays cornet, wrote all of the arrangements, and takes a rare vocal) is joined throughout by some of his favorite musicians: singer Rebecca Kilgore (who is heard on six of the 13 selections), pianist Dave Frishberg, guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, bassist Joel Forbes, drummer Jeff Hamilton, altoist/flutist Chuck Wilson, tenor saxophonist Brian Oglivie, and Scott Robinson (clarinet, bass sax, alto, and tenor). In addition, trumpeter Bryan Shaw helps out on two songs. The intelligent arrangements (which make optimal use of the many great musicians on the date) and the concise, meaningful solos result in Moon Song being memorable. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/moon-song-mw0000045051

Trumpeter Bryan Shaw delivers a confident sound filled with melodic low-register work. His imaginative ballad work is reminiscent of Bunny Berigan and Bix Beiderbecke, while his fiery individualism reflects Roy Eldridge and Ruby Braff. Shaw's core band has the lustrous Dan Barrett on trombone plus some arrangements, innovative Brian Ogilvie on clarinet and tenor sax, inventive Dave Frishberg on piano and dynamic Jeff Hamilton on drums. Barrett and Ogilvie consistently deliver splendid solos. The ensemble is showcased best on "Accent on Youth," and on "Bean and the Boys," Coleman Hawkins' take-off on "Lover, Come Back to Me." Many of the album's 12 tracks reach back into the '30s and '40s, which may be "new" material for some listeners. A Kansas City-style rhythm section prevails throughout, providing a strong base for now-rare renditions of "Aunt Hagar's Blues," "Panhandle Rag," "Ol' Pappy" and "I'm Comin' Virginia." Recorded during two sessions in New York and California, the tracks alternately add Bucky Pizzarelli or Eddie Erickson on guitar, Scott Robinson or Chuck Wilson on reeds, Joel Forbes or David Stone on bass, with Rebecca Kilgore on two vocals. ~Patricia Myers

Bryan Shaw performs wondrously on trumpet, the way pre-jazz players in the South were called singing horns before the word jazz was in vogue. After winning a national Dixieland contest, Bryan has been performing internationally and the music is instantly recognizable as his unique jazz sound.

Features jazz all-stars Ehud Asherie on piano and Dan Barrett on trombone. Nat Hentoff wrote the liner notes, and declared in the Wall Street Journal that Bryan Shaw is a torchbearer for timeless swing.

Trumpeter Bryan Shaw should be well-known in the trad/swing world, but his decision long ago to settle in Los Angeles and help raise a family, playing at Disneyland and with local Dixieland bands, has kept him fairly anonymous. However, his classmate trombonist Dan Barrett persuaded Shaw to record for Arbors, and the results are so strong that Shaw seems destined to gain at least a little bit of the fame he deserves. Shaw is joined by Barrett (who, in addition to his trombone, contributes quite a few colorful arrangements), Brian Ogilvie on clarinet and tenor, altoist Chuck Wilson, Scott Robinson on baritone, tenor, and clarinet, and a top-notch rhythm section. Added pluses are two vocals by Rebecca Kilgore and one by banjoist Eddie Erickson. The music ranges from Dixielandish to modern swing with several of the songs dating in style from the mid-'40s. "Snafu," which has Louis Armstrong's original solo harmonized for the band, and the trumpet-piano duet by Shaw and Dave Frishberg on "Body and Soul" are among the many highlights. Highly recommended. ~Scott Yanow  http://www.allmusic.com/album/night-owl-mw0000609587
