"The band's release, It's a Grand Night for Swinging was recorded live in performance with guest artists John Abercrombie, Giacomo Gates and Ali Ryerson. Jeff Holmes' rousing arrangement of Billy Taylor's "A Grand Night for Swinging" is one of the band's most-requested numbers.

A Cookin’ Christmas 

A Christmas CD featuring the Duke Ellington Nutcracker and original treatments of other holiday jazz selections was recorded in 2003 and is frequently performed in concert or in collaboration with ballet companies throughout New England.

Historically, it marked one of the earliest, non-Ellington big band recordings of the suite from the "Nutcracker" ballet, Tchaikovsky’s universal sugarplum of a holiday favorite. http://www.wnpr.org/post/festive-fusion-big-band-jazz-concert-hartford-s-infinity-hall?nopop=1"
