The Little Big Band II

Around 1995, Colin began to notice that his first Little Big Band record was in the playlists of dance clubs and swing societies around the states and in Europe. It seemed to be getting more play a couple years later and he decided it was time to do a follow up.

The songs on the LBB sequel are a wide range of classic, early rock and roll and swing to straight blues classics. Tenor sax, Greg Picallo, from Rhode Island’s Room Full of Blues, who had provided many solos on the first LBB disc rejoined Colin. Also joining Colin were Kaz Kazanoff (baritone and tenor sax), Brian Casserly (trumpet), John Wolf (trombone) from St. Louis , and George Rains (Jimmy Vaughn,Boz Scaggs) on drums. The singles released were Let’s Shout (Jackie Wilson), and C’mon with the C’mon (Cab Calloway). This album won a Juno for “Producer of the Year”
