Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra featuring Lew Tabackin's 1984 debut on the Ascent label. Five original compositions and arrangements by Akiyoshi, recorded during a West Coast tour. Features an exceptional ensemble including Conrad Herwig, Frank Wess, Brian Lynch, Walt Weiskopf, and Jim Snidero. Highlights include the commissioned "Ten Gallon Shuffle," the ballad "Fading Beauty," the bebop-influenced "Jamming at Carnegie Hall," "Happy Hoofer," and the ambitious "Blue Break." A standout big band recording.
