Free For All Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 (edited) Just picked this one up and am listening to it as I write. Great writing by Werner, great playing by the BJO and a very nice sounding recording. Werner's compositions are very engaging and get to the point without a lot of the meandering self-indulgence that a lot of writers seem to get caught up in. Some nice blowing sections to offset the ensemble parts. At times he creates a film-noire like atmosphere, not unlike some of the moments on Belden's "Black Dahlia". Good soloists in the BJO, too- a very professional and musical group. This one snuck up on me- I hadn't heard anything about it. If you like Maria's or McNeeley's writing, you'll enjoy this.
