Album Review

Trombonist Brian Pastor, who is responsible for around half of the arrangements on this set along with two of the originals, leads a hard-driving and swinging big band. While the music is conventional, fitting into the modern mainstream of big-band jazz, the musicianship is impressive, the charts are colorful, the solos are mostly heated, and the overall spirit of the Brian Pastor Big Band is infectious. The key soloists include Andrew Neu on tenor, trumpeters Rick Gazda and Chuck Gottesman, altoist Kaj Hansen and Pastor himself with Grant Garfuss taking a vocal on the closing "Make Someone Happy." Fans of modern big bands will enjoy Common Men.

I've heard this band play many times in the Philly area, and now everyone can enjoy every bit of the Philly Big Band sound!! This CD is flawless and a must own for anyone and everyone!

Awesome CD!
     
by B Stone

This Cd of the common men is excellent. I heard them live at Council Rock North and Brian Pastor also worked with our Jazz trombone and tuba section. It was a pleasure working with him and hearing the Brian Pastor Big Band. The style and tone is great and the band is tight. This Cd of the "Common Men" is truly spectacular!

Great Stuff
     
by trombonejeff

I've played 4 of these charts before and worked with two members of the band, and they never cease to impress. Awesome charts, i.e. Seven Mile Bridge and Common Man, ridiculous solos, and overall just an great cd.
