Full performer name: George Gruntz Concert Jazz Band. George Gruntz Concert Jazz Band: George Gruntz (piano); Desire (rap vocals); Chris Hunter (alto saxophone); Jerry Bergonzi, Alex Foster (tenor saxophone); Randy Brecker, John D'Earth, Jon Faddis, Bob Mintzer, Wallace Roney, Marvin Stamm (trumpet); John Clark (French horn); Franco Ambrosetti (flugelhorn); Ray Anderson (trombone, rap vocals); David Bargeron (trombone, euphonium); Art Baron (bass trombone); John Scofield (guitar); DJ A.D. (scratches). Recorded in January 1991. Pianist/composer George Gruntz had led his Concert Jazz Band for nearly 20 years at the time of this Enja CD. Although the personnel changes to a large extent every year, Gruntz's principles for his music (all of which he arranges) have remained the same: utilize flexible virtuosi on a repertoire of originals drawn entirely from the band. This particular release combines such major players as altoist Chris Hunter, guitarist John Scofield, trombonist Ray Anderson, trumpeters Wallace Roney, Jon Faddis, Randy Brecker, Michael Mossman, Marvin Stamm, John D'Earth and Franco Ambrosetti and tenors Bob Mintzer, Bob Malach and Jerry Bergonzi on a diverse and well-rounded set of unpredictable music. Anderson's "Rap for Nap" is particularly odd. It's well worth investigating. ~ Scott Yanow
