"If traditional big band fare is your cup of tea, this should be the one to check out."

Robert Iannapollo/CADENCE

""Tidy, focused solos, strong ensemble voicings, and a joyous sense of swing are hallmarks of Anderson's band...Composer Ruby Fisher, the date's producer, writes ballads that would have been major hits in the days when melody counted for something. All in all, Anderson's latest set is an unpretentious success."
