Eyal Vilner's fourth album as leader of his impressive New York-based big band is a throwback to the kind of concert dates audiences no doubt derived great pleasure from during the storied Big-Band Era well over half a century ago when groups not far removed from this one in spirit traveled cross-country by bus, car or train to ply their trade in nightclubs, concert halls, schools and any other accessible venue. Vilner spices the menu with blues, ballads, boogie and swing, flag-wavers, gospel, a touch of Latin and plenty of vocals, most of them delivered with flair by the high-spirited Brianna Thomas . As a change of pace, one of the more popular vocals of the World War II years, the Andrews Sisters' "Bei Mir Bist du Schoen," is performed as an instrumental.
