It combines Vincent's skills as a long time arranger for the big band with his close relationship to spirituals and gospels. Vincent grew up with the music through church and this is his third release on Storyville Records (see Storyville 1014240 and 1014258). The previous releases featured spirituals in smaller groups - this is the first time with arrangements for the Big Band format. The tracklist contains well-known and lesser-known spirituals in new and jazzy arrangements with songs like Swing Low Sweet Chariot, Go Down Moses, Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child, Just A Closer Walk With Thee, Joshua Fit The Battle Of Jericho and more. Vincent salutes The Danish Radio Big Band's 50th anniversary in 2014 - an ensemble famous for "that big, fat, Danish sound." Since it was established in 1964 the band has always aimed at a high level of artistic quality. #### Personnel Vocals: Eliel Lazo (1, 3, 6, 10, 12), Jacob Munck (3, 7), the Band Choir (1, 3, 13) Trombone: Vincent Nilsson (2, 3, 5, 7, 11) Trumpet & flugelhorn: Anders Gustafsson (lead), Michael Mølhede, Thomas Kjærgaard, Mads la Cour, Gerard Presencer Trombone & baritone: Steen Hansen (lead) Trombone: Peter Jensen Trombone, Bass trombone & euphonium: Annette Huseby Saxe Bass trombone & tuba: Jakob Munck (1, 2, 4, 5, 11, 12), Kim Aagaard (3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13) Alto saxophone, flute & piccolo: Nikolai Schultz (lead) Alto Saxophone, clarinet & flute: Peter Fuglsang Tenor saxophone & soprano saxophone: Hans Ulrik Tenor saxophone: Claus Waidtløw Baritone saxophone: Anders Gaardmand Guitars & banjo: Per Gade Piano, electric piano, organ & celesta: Henrik Gunde Bass & el. bass: Kaspar Vadsholt Congas & percussion: Eliel Lazo Drums: Søren Frost Recorded March 12-14, 2014 at the Danish Radio Studio 3 #### Reviews "it is not only a recommendable record with the Danish Radio Big Band - it is simply a recommendable jazzrecord.
