Jazz Big Band Recommendations?


Are there any other Big Band fanatics out there? I'm looking for some new stuff. Not the usual oldies (Basie, Ellington, etc.), but some good modern big bands that may not be that well known.

Mario Bauza's "Tanga Suite". This will take you back to the height of the Mambo craze in the late 50s early 60s when there was considerable overlap in the personnel of the best jazz and mambo bands. This is a fabulous recording from the early 90s. I always bring it in my periodic explorations of what's new and wonderful on the audio scene.
