From Jazz Radio 88.3 FM San Diego, California: "The music of VINTAGE JAZZ will give your wig a solid flip! What a solid release! Swell to hear the music of the 20's, 30's & 40's is being kept alive. Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller would be proud." Ida Garcia, Rug Cutter's Swing, Jazz 88.3 FM. Los Angeles-based Pianist/Composer Richard Geere (Harry James Orch., Glenn Miller Orch., Tex Beneke Orch., Billy Vaughn Orch., Disney) has brought together some of the country's finest vintage jazz players to pay tribute to the 20's, 30's & 40's. This classic era of America's unique art form is in very good hands, with this collection of all-new compositions and authentic interpretations.
