That's one of the best tenor sounds I've ever heard.

[rickstokes]

Can’t get enough. Have to come back every so often and get my fix. Thanks guys.

[junctionbigband]

Effortless playing with a sublime sound. One of my desert island tracks that I could listen to time and time again. And do so without being on a desert Island.

[njamofficial]

Tenor sax player‘s name is Brian Clancy. Great player.

[insultantable]

This interpretation of one of Bill Holman's great arrangements must be hard to beat. Each time I listen to it the better it sounds. This is an orchestra.

[papanino]

That passage between 2:56 and 3:25 is what heaven must sound like.

[aWinkler]

I cried listening to this. The mark of true artistry

[MrJazzologist]

It's wonderful to know that jazz is loved and respected by up and coming generations. Arrangements with style and panache are alive and well and brimming with hope for the future.

[loufip]

[Risandi_Pradipto]

These guys are such a promising hopes for the longevity of the modern jazz era.
5:40 - 7.20 was truly magical. Thumbs up !!!

[geoffgreen]

Wonderful- great balance and feel from everyone, but yeah, the sax player certainly plays with great expression, and his tone is just enviable—— thanks for posting.

[chauncywashington]

This is the essence of perfection. Great arrangement on a gorgeous composition, and amazing feel that the ensemble has, and Brian's interpretation, WOW! I couldn't find enough good to describe his mastery on this. So emotional, with such feel and understanding...incredible low register, and all up and down on the beautiful Selmer.

[pacrimco]

Great stuff! Bill Hollman is an arranging genius.

[jazzfisher]

This has been one of my favorite "Kenton band/Holman" arrangements since I was a high school student in the fifties. I believe Bill Perkins did that first tenor solo/part. These guys made chills go all over me. Such memories.... Gives me hope. Keep it up.

[IamSaralinka]

Wow, that is Brecker caliber tone and improv at the cadenza! Yet, there's so much originality here. I must say, Mr. Clancy, you have such a way with soloing. Thank you for this awesome recording!

[mattsawyerjazz]

Brian you have so many good things going on in your playing! Big fan of the cadenza and your sound.

I happened upon the NTJazz over the weekend and I WAS AMAZED!!! Like, I can’t get enough!!!
