Come travel down the Jazz history road with Mel Collins & D. Ben-jamin Big Band as they take you on a journey from yesterday to today.
Starting at the swingin' days of Ella & Basie, next, a temporary stop at the classic Nancy Wilson, and bluesy Etta James 60s Blue Note period. Lastly, they drop you off at the smooth jazz grooves of today with renditions of current hits by John Legend's Ordinary People and Dave Wheat's Better Than Anything.
The unique jazz vocals of Miss Mel Collins, the dynamic arrangements of Duane Benjamin along with the great solo work of jazz artists like Bennie Maupin, Bob Sheppard, Rickey Woodard, Clayton Cameron and Kevin Toney, make this album a perfect tribute to the best eras of jazz. With something for every jazz lover, you will surely enjoy A LITTLE JAZZ NOW & THEN.
