Album Description"One hears straight up all the wonderful artistic shoulders jazz drummer Brooks Tegler has stood on over the years. As listeners, the total spectrum of our musical tastes are heightened and we emerge the better for the experience." -JAZZREVIEW Brooks Tegler?s brand of thirties swing jazz reminded guitarist Steve Jordan (to whom this album is dedicated) of Gene Krupa and Artie Shaw. To understand the power of this album, just look at who played on it! A recent release by Brooks Tegler?s Capital Combinations (featuring many of the same artists as this disc) won the 2004 Wammie for Best Big Band/Swing Recording.
