IDAN SANTHAUS/There You Are: This record is divided into two big band dates with everyone that knows how to blow like a pro in New York on board and showing their stuff. The kind of stuff you could expect from Stan Kenton when he was doing dates that didn’t requite extra showing off, this is the sound of pros that know all about keeping the groove in the grooves. A writer/composer/conductor in the classic sense, Santhaus knows his stuff and knows how to make his point while scoring a lot of points. Bar raising, listening jazz throughout.
