Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band Part 1

Even for a successful composer and arranger in Hollywood, Gordon's numbers are impressive: A 2006 Grammy Award for his Instrumental Arrangement of "Incredits" from the Pixar film "The Incredibles," three Emmy Awards, and eight Grammy nominations. Here's another impressive number to add to the list: Eighteen. As in the number of musicians in Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, one of the most exciting large jazz ensembles on the planet. Populated by L.A.'s finest players, the Big Phat Band takes the big band tradition into the new millennium with a contemporary, highly original sound featuring Gordon's witty, intricate, and hard-swinging compositions in a veritable grab bag of styles: swing, Latin, blues, classical, rock and even an homage to Looney Tunes.
