This Colorado based aggregation brings us eight David Caffey originals loaded with superb solo work and invigorating arrangements. The sound draws from bands as disparate as Rob McConnell (fun, spirited, cooking) to Thad Jones-Mel Lewis (challenging charts, a sense of daring, versatility). The tunes have distinct melody lines, and believe it or not, sound like real "songs"! Imagine that! This sort of band is becoming rare, but thanks to people like David Caffey for staying with his muse.
