Harry Hershey And The WBBG Orchestra - Big Band Grandstand
Review by jamal el moubarik
The album "Big Band Grandstand" by Harry Hershey and the WBBG Orchestra is a delightful collection of classic big band tunes that will transport listeners back to the swingin' sounds of the 1940s and 50s. Featuring Hershey's expert trumpet playing and the tight, polished sound of the WBBG Orchestra, this album is a must-have for fans of big band music.
The album opens with the upbeat and energetic "In the Mood," a classic tune that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, Hershey and the orchestra move through a variety of classic big band standards, including "Take the A Train," "Moonlight Serenade," and "Chattanooga Choo Choo."
One standout track is "Sing, Sing, Sing," which features an extended drum solo by the talented Bobby Benson. Benson's playing is crisp and precise, and he keeps the energy level high throughout the entire track.
