Rob McConnell & The Boss Brass - Big Band Jazz Volume 1

Review by Erica Buteau

Rob McConnell & The Boss Brass have been at the forefront of the Canadian jazz scene for decades, and their 1991 album Big Band Jazz is a testament to their talent and creativity. Featuring a lineup of some of the best jazz musicians in the country, this album is a masterclass in big band jazz.

From the opening track, "Line for Lyons," it's clear that this is a group of musicians who know how to play together. The horn section is tight and precise, the rhythm section swings, and McConnell's trombone playing is as smooth and soulful as ever. The arrangements are complex and challenging, but the band handles them with ease, making each song a joy to listen to.

Highlights of the album include the swinging "Blues for a Debutante," the funky "The Waltz I Blew for You," and the soulful "My One and Only Love." But really, every track on this album is a gem. Whether you're a die-hard jazz fan or just someone who appreciates good music, Big Band Jazz is an album that you won't want to miss. Highly recommended.
