“ "The vibrant feel good shaker “Sierra Leone” features excellent trumpet and sax while “Epifanio” exudes good feelings with every note played. The flugelhorn from Ron Stout and Aranita’s soprano sax particularly stand out. Really, big band jazz does not get much better than this. For jazz fans this is no brainer.” - Jon Neudorf
