Rob McConnell & the Boss Brass made a second album for the direct-to-disc Umbrella label, a two-LP set that features the band at the top of its game. Aside from Ian McDougall's Pellet Suite, all of the arrangements are by the leader. The ballads are especially noteworthy, particularly the subdued, lush setting of "I Hear a Rhapsody" and "My Ship. They have plenty of bop chops as well, featuring trumpeter Sam Noto and alto saxophonist Moe Kaufman in "Confirmation.
