"This is a true band, jazz synergy in action, so much more than four horns and a rhythm section. Many live sessions and recordings—with fine players—can seem tedious when the opening ensemble gives way to a piano solo, then a series of horn solos, every time. Each performance unfolds according to its own satisfying logic, and each track has its own surprises. There is truth in advertising, for the Swing 7 honestly lives up to its name." —From the album notes by Michael Steinman
