Recorded at A&R Studio, New York, New York from August 28-30, 1972. Originally released on Fantasy (9416). Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1991, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). The best of his Fantasy releases of the '70s, this well-rounded CD is highlighted by a great jam on "Reunion at Newport" and strong soloing from Herman (on soprano and clarinet), pianist Harold Danko, trumpeter Bill Stapleton and the tenors of Gregory Herbert and Frank Tiberi. The Herman orchestra performs a couple of modern ballads ("Alone Again Naturally" and "Summer of '42"), some blues and a few swinging numbers, showing off their versatility with expertise and spirit. ~ Scott Yanow
