Goodness, it has been a while, hasn't it? I've been around and been playing, but haven't really had the motivation to post for a while. We'll see how it goes for now.
This was a fun one. I was contacted out of the blue by a local composer who wanted to get some recordings of his pieces - I'd never met him, but someone else had recommended me, which is a great feeling. He put together a full big band, and we did a full-on recording session at a studio. This was a one-off group that had never played together before, but we came in, ran through it once, then hit record. It was a real pleasure to play with a bunch of musicians who can sound this tight right off the bat.
Back to the Shed (Rob Walker) is a fun big band chart with Latin and swing sections. Some great sax solos in this one.

Damn...sounds like you folks have been playing together for years. Don't quit!!!
Thanks! It was a fun group of folks to record with, and I hope to play with them in future. I'm still playing quite a lot, but had just dropped off posting for a while - trying to get back into it.
Thank you! I lost the motivation to post recordings for a while and was just watching here (though still playing a lot), but recently made the decision to post again at least somewhat regularly since I've got a bunch of recordings already done and a bunch of concerts and gigs coming up.
you should... like my stories... if I can make one person smile, I have succeeded...

This is outstanding! I thought it would be 1920s/30s big band and wasn't expecting jazz big band. The composition and playing is superb!
Much appreciated! The composer did a great job, and the group as a whole was a joy to play with. And, it was definitely a fun experience to do some studio work.
Great sound. A little bit of everything, very post war, jazzy and a treat.
