Temple University Jazz Band December 7, 2010

Directed by trumpeter Terell Stafford, this award-winning group has flourished. AllAboutJazz's Jim Santella writes, "Their cohesive sound maintains a perfect balance and the orchestration allows each of the key sections to revel in their unique voices. Deep-throated trombones and baritone saxophone provide the kind of foundation that a tango dancer lives for. Shining trumpets and alto saxophones float melodies and powerful punctuation across the top of the studio. The harmonic mixture of guitar, piano and saxophones casually colors specific phrases with bright hues. Well executed and balanced evenly across its 18-piece instrumentation, the Temple University Jazz Band provides an award-winning performance."
