About “Oasis”

Continuing in the direction of the previously released “Explosion” and “Aftermath” on CAP records, we now arrive at the “Oasis”, figuratively speaking in the evolution of Longo’s writing and ensemble development. I think you will find, as I did, this record enormous in its emotional scope. The listening experience is unparalleled in the idiom today. The rest are details you will notice such as the interplay between sections, going beyond what Thad Jones did throughout his noble career. The rhythmic sensibility goes beyond what Basie did for jazz in the big band format. This recording could come with the following guarantee: If not completely satisfied, your purchase will be refunded!

Today we see a tremendous rise in the big band format across the country on the high school and university level. Simultaneously, the unfortunate decline in the ability to present such performances live creates a greater need for this material to be available on cd for the listening public.

Enjoy!
