Dave D'Angelo & Section 8 - In A Minute (2000)

"Section 8 is a five-piece saxophone band loosely based on the famous LA Super Sax band that covered the music of Charlie Parker. This east-coast version was conceived by Dave DAngelo and is manned by his former band mates. All of the saxophonists here are Buddy Rich Big Band alumni. The harmonization of 2 altos, 2 tenors and a baritone saxophone is a formula for a hard-hitting session. The disc opens with tenors Walt Weiskopf and Steve Marcus mixing it up with true tenor madness. Weiskopf has been a perennial musicians choice for talent deserving wider recognition and Marcus has collaborated with Gary Burton and Stan Kenton. Altoists Andy Fusco and Dave DAngelo close the disc on the burning DAngelo original. The former sounding like Jackie McLean, the latter a bit smoother, like Frank Morgan. Section Eight answers the question: what are all those swinging cats from Buddy Richs band up to since the greatest big band drummer left this planet? They are still hittin hard."
