This latest Danny D'Imperio CD is a tribute to Danny's avocation. As a member of a multitude of big bands, Danny traveled for years on the bus in the juicer section. This had a big impact. He wants that known. The music here has no special relation to this. It comes from several recordings that were made in the mid 1990s. This is a fine CD with great playing by some of New York's finest journeymen of that period (Village Vanguard/Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band, Buddy Rich Ghost Band). Great charts and solos. Album Tracks 1. Teh Song Is You [Take 1] [Take] 2. It's Love 3. Room 608 4. Make It Good 5. Ultimate Rejection [Take 1] [Take] 6. Portrait of Stephanie 7. Blue Bird 8. It's Magic 9. Blue on Blue 10. Ultimate Rejection [Take 2] [Take]

This second volume of mid 90's recordings by Danny D'Imperio's all star lineup is the companion piece to InchAlcoholInch. This collection also features some less well known but very worthy jazz standards, re-arranged for this 12 piece ork. The alto work of Gary Pribek is prominent here, as three features are devoted to his solos. Also the dueling trumpets of Greg Gisbert and Andy Gravish are again heard throughout, as they were on InchAlcoholInch. As with it's sister , the title has little or nothing to do with the content of this CD. Album Tracks 1. Between Races 2. Big InchPInch 3. I Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry 4. Our Delight 5. Meet Benny Bailey 6. Straight Street 7. Stay on It 8. It's Magic [Take 1] [Take] 9. Make It Good [Take 1] [Take] 10. I Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry [Take 1] [Take] 11. The Song Is You [Take 2] [Take]
