USA: Pete McGuinness Jazz Orchestra-Along For The Ride(Summit Records 2019)

"This new recording once again features the multi-Grammy finalist’s composing – arranging, along with some of his solo work on vocals and trombone. But it is equally about the band and its many fine soloists who Pete has known and worked with for over 25 years. A collective resume of the band members includes stints with such well-known band leaders as Maria Schneider, Woody Herman, Lionel Hampton, Jimmy Heath and countless other great big bands, Broadways shows and various NYC studio recording sessions. When they all get together, it is as much about “the hang” as it is about playing the music. Once the arrangements were written, McGuinness was indeed along for a great ride! He knew the many gifts of the band’s various soloists, and how they can pull off even the trickiest of passages with style and energy"  Summit Records
