Phil Kelly - My Museum

As a follow-up to his Grammy-nominated "Convergence Zone" (ORN #82417), Phil Kelly brings together many of his friends from his days in L.A. for a hard-swinging look at his arrangements of standards such as "Jeannine," "Body & Soul," and Ellington's "Daydream" and originals including the haunting and lush title cut, "My Museum" featuring the vocals of Greta Matassa. Propelled by the drumming of Steve Houghton and lead players like Wayne Bergeron, Lanny Morgan, Andy Martin and Pete Christlieb, Kelly's "SW Santa Ana Winds" offer a crisp, swinging take on the modern big band. "Big-band albums this rewarding don't come along very often." - Jack Bowers, All About Jazz.
