Oliver Lake Big Band - Wheels (Passin' Thru Records 2013)

Lake's a big thinker with a taste for large ensembles that can showoff his meaty compositions and his sure sense of coloring. --The New Yorker

Few musicians in the history of jazz have wielded as wide and diverse a palette as Oliver Lake. This is classic Big Band performance with a decidedly modern sound. --Russ Musto, All About Jazz
