The great John Wilson and his magnificent orchestra and chorus are the ne plus ultra.
Had the life-affirming pleasure of seeing and hearing them live at Royce Hall in Los Angeles.
Just brilliant.

[@user-ye4ph3yb9l]

As did I for Seth McFarlane’s birthday party extravaganza.
Spectacular!

Never heard a vintage big band arrangement played with such joie de vivre by modern musicians.

[@jacktorrance9688]

Yeah lol, it's always played slowly and the musicians look bored and annoyed af.

One of Gershwin's finest so well done by this orchestra.....Bravo!

[@jjakiefte2165]

Interesting to hear that Sy Oliver incorporated Rhapsody in Blueish elements into his trademark arranging style that big band buffs know so well from his charts for Dorsey of Opus 1, Swing High, Well Git It, Hallelujah etc.
