Remarkable professional grade jazz/funk CD by a high school band. Unbelieveable.
A unique document of a remarkable high school jazz band of nearly 50 years ago. Sounds contemporary to this day. And the band sounds professional in every regard.

A good overview of a largely dated genre.
Most of the films are forgotten, but portions of the soundtracks are worth revisiting. The soundtrack for the Benny Goodman Story is the best. It's Goodman himself with a kicking band.

The Consistently Creative Duke Ellington
It would be easy, but a mistake, to pass up this item due to the fact that many of the selections were recorded and performed by Ellington time after time. But Ellington constantly reinvented his repertoire. The concert on this CD opens with "Take the 'A' Train", which he and his band had performed thousands of times prior to this 1960 concert. But this 'A' Train is on a different track with a long piano intro, tempo changes, and a range of different soloists. It is as fresh as when premiered in 1940 - even fresher since the extra time allows for more Ellington ideas. "Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue" is another fresh treat. Most bands became more precise, and often more boring, when performing previous hits. But this version of "Diminuendo..." is looser, almost to the point of a delightful Sun Ra like sloppiness, than either the 1956 Newport version or the 1937 original. The remainder of the CD is delightful and I know of no other source for this particular concert performance.
