Review: The only recording by Don Menza's big band of the early 1980s features many of the top Los Angeles-based, jazz-oriented session players of the era. Menza contributed four of the six selections and all of the swinging arrangements; best are "Burnin' (Blues for Bird)," "Tonawanda Fats" and the memorable "Dizzyland." With such soloists as altoist Joe Romano, baritonist Jack Nimitz, pianist Frank Strazzeri, trombonist Bill Reichenbach, Menza's intense tenor, and trumpeters Chuck Findley, Ron King, Don Rader, Bobby Shew and Frank Szabo (all of the trumpeters are featured on "Dizzyland"), the Don Menza Big Band was a mighty if now forgotten orchestra. This album features Menza at the peak of his powers.
