Mintzer,Bob All L.A. Band CD

It was an incredible experience to revisit these 10 tunes in the studio with L.A.'s finest, spanning a 40-year stretch of big band writing. In writing the music I wasn't thinking of all of what style of music was at hand, but rather how I would like to play, with whom, and how to formulate a sound of my own that was influenced by my musical environment coming in New York City. Here is a cross section of tunes I've composed for big band that will take you on a musical journey through the broad terrain sometimes referred to as jazz.

1. El Caborojeno 2. Havin' Some Fun 3. Home Basie 4. Ellis Island 5. Original People 6. New Rochelle 7. Ruferyerlife 8. Latin Dance 9. Slo Funk 10. Tribute
