This page includes reviews of recently available big bands on compact disc
THOSE WHO VISIT REGULARLY WILL SEE I HAVE REMOVED A LOT OF REVIEWS AS MANY OF THE RELEASES ARE NOW UNAVAILABLE . THOSE LEFT, AS I WRITE ARE AVAILABLE.
MENTION MY NAME WHEN YOU ORDER ANY OF THE REVIEWED CDS. IT MAY NOT DO YOU ANY GOOD BUT MY
NOTES ON NEW CDs.......
If your big band, the one you play in, the one you support, has a creditable CD needing a little extra exposure let me know. the same applies to any American colleges with similar enterprises. I already sell quite a few collegiate recordings.
WORTH REMEMBERING ALL YOU BAND DIRECTORS. ALL THE SEABREEZE RELEASES HAVE A FAIR PROPORTION OF THEIR MATERIAL/ARRANGEMENTS AVAILABLE IN THE WALRUS CATALOGUE. I SUPPLY IN U.K.
THERE ARE MORE CD'S ON MY LISTS THAN ARE DESCRIBED HERE. THIS IS ONLY A SELECTION ! ALSO THESE PAGES ARE NOT SPONSORED, I SELECT THE CONTENT INCLUDING THE ALBUMS FOR REVIEW.
PLEASE NOTE ALSO THAT THE OBJECT OF THESE REVIEWS IS THAT YOU WON'T BE BUYING BLIND WHEN YOU RISK YOUR MONEY ON A NEW BAND YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO WADE THROUGH HUNDREDS OF WORDS DESIGNED TO DEMONSTRATE WRITING SKILLS RATHER THAN HELPFUL POINTERS TO QUALITY, STYLE, SOURCE ETC.HOPEFULLY HALFWAY THROUGHTHE FIRST PARAGRAPH YOU WON'T BE THINKING ' -FOR GOD'S SAKE GET TO THE POINT! IS IT A GOOD CD OR WHAT?"
The majority of the CDs reviewed are available from me, here in the UK. I would like to say that the prices are competitive, but to be correct many are not available anywhere else so I try to offer a fair price..
