Diane Schuur – Live From Seattle: With Maynard Ferguson And His Big Bop Nouveau Band

PLOT:

This DVD features Diane Schuur performing 15 tunes with Big Bop Nouveau (including fan favorite Carl Fischer). The final two songs (Just Friends and It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing) are performed with Maynard. It's a delight to hear Diane and Maynard trade riffs, with Diane occasionally mimicking Maynard's exuberant sound. Diane Schuur comments, "I had a blast working with Maynard and his power packed band. The crowd was in their element and it was so much fun sailing vocally above the brass..." = Personnel: TRUMPET: Adolfo Acosta, Carl Fischer, and Frank Abrahamson - SAXOPHONE: Mike Dubaniewicz, Jeff Rupert, Bill Ramsay - TROMBONE: Mike Bravin - PIANO: Earl MacDonald - BASS: Roger Hines - DRUMS: David Throckmorton
