Music fans born before 1970 may not realize that many decades back, the big bands were a major force in pop music. But saxophonist, pianist, and big-bandleader Gordon Goodwin isn't peddling nostalgia for the past. On ACT YOUR AGE, he takes aspects of the big-band sound and successfully combines them with contemporary jazz and pop music. Guests on ACT YOUR AGE include Chick Corea, whose semi-hit "Senor Mouse" gets a roaring, rousing revival, while jazz singer Patti Austin sings on the ebullient Earth Wind & Fire hit "September." Nathan East, Dave Grusin, and Lee Ritenour also appear. ACT is not for old-school big-band devotees, but for those who enjoy audacious, driving mixtures of jazz, funk, and pop of various eras.
