All About Jazz "In recreating and nurturing the ambiance and excitement of the Swing Era (and beyond), the Big Swing Band does more than simply go through the motions. Wells has assembled a group of seasoned professionals whose commitment to the music is evident. They know what swing is about, and clearly enjoy paying their respects to such noted predecessors as Benny Moten, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Ted Heath, Glenn Miller, Gene Krupa, Stan Kenton, Artie Shaw, Sy Oliver and Jan Savitt. This is dance band music of the highest order, ably performed by an ensemble that would have been quite at home sharing the bandstand with any of the legends named above."
