Ernie Krivda - The Band That Swings '1999

Tracks list

Tenor saxophonist Ernie Krivda has been a favorite of jazz audiences in his
native Cleveland, Ohio for some time, but wider recognition has unjustly eluded
him. His fourth CD for Koch (and second with the Fat Tuesday Big Band) is a
masterpiece of swing with a nice mix of choice arrangements and plenty of hot
solos. A very refreshing take of S Wonderful avoids the obvious paths, while
Ernie Wilkins Basie-era chart of One OClock Jump is in good hands with Krivda
and his band. Krivda adds a campy vocal to On The Sunny Side of the Street and
wrote the Basieflavored Irvs at Midnight as well. This is a very fun date worth
picking up.
