A1. Winter Colors: An Early Morning River Stroll; Grey Afternoon; January Jubilee
A2. Willie
A3. Sage Hands

B1. Bygones & Boogie (Boogie & Out)
B2. Mountain Heir
B3. Milo's Other Samba

G.McFarland 指揮による総勢２０人の大所帯、気になる演奏者は G.Szabo だけど A1. Winter Colors で聴けば直ぐ判る音色の短いソロ、B2. Mountain Heir は長めのソロで聴き応えあります。意外だったのは B1. Bygones & Boogie (Boogie & Out) の中盤、曲調が変わった後の R.Davis の 大きく取り上げられた bass に彼のファンは大喜びでしょう。演奏者の数が多いので個々のソロが少ないのが残念、P.Woods もほんの少しのソロだし Z.Sims は何処にいるの？ちょっと勿体無いです。
