Album Review
"The multi-talented Pete
McGuinness is a warm and
fluent trombone soloist,
a fine high-toned
singer, and a skilled
arranger. On the debut
recording by his big
band, McGuinness did all
of the writing, composed
six of the nine
selections, and takes
two scat vocals in
addition to being the
key soloist on trombone.
He features such fine
players as trumpeters
Bill Mobley, Chris
Rogers, and Tony Kadleck;
tenors Tom Christiansen
and Jason Rigby;
altoists Dave Pietro and
Charles Pillow; pianist
Mike Holober (well
showcased on "Comecar de
Novo"); and the full
trombone section on one
of the best hottest
selections, "The
Tricksters." The music
is essentially
forward-looking
straight-ahead hard bop,
conventional but not
lacking in surprises and
excitement. First Flight
is easily recommended to
fans of modern big
bands."
