Al Belletto Jazz Band - Jazznocracy flac album

This welcome volume of big-band music - recorded in concert at the Christ Church Cathedral in New Orleans - shows him to be not only an able leader, but a distinctive alto saxophonist as well. He has the flexibility of a rubber band, and his group responds to every command, fueled by the great work of drummer John Vidacovich, trombonist Rick Trolsen, baritone saxophonist Cindy Mayes, tenor Ray Moore, trumpeter Bobby Campo, and leader/lead altoist Frank Mayes.

Among its sidemen are some of the area's finest mainstream players including drummer John Vidacovich, saxophonists Ray Moore and Frank Mayes, trombonist Rick Trolsen, pianist John Mahoney, and trumpeters Bobby Campo, Jamil Sharif and Erik Jekabson. Track listing: Relaxin'; Pennies from Heaven; Basically Blues; Only the Lonely; Jumpin' at the Woodside; Jazznocracy; Come In from the Rain; No Cares; In a Sentimental Mood; Things Ain't What They Used to Be; Serenade to Sweden; Satin Doll; Alegria (66:28).
