  • They Say...

    The Falconaires is one of the United States Air Force's main jazz ensembles. The 18-piece group features impressive musicianship, exciting ensembles and colorful arrangements. For this set of ten songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim, the band is joined on two numbers apiece by trombonist Bill Watrous (who is showcased on "Once I Loved" and "Chega De Saudade") and pianist Frank Mantooth. John Teamer sings "One Note Samba" and "So Danca Samba," and the group's soloists include trumpeter Mark Israel, trombonists Ryan Haines and Lucas Munce on alto and soprano. This release is obscure but worth searching for since the big band keeps the spirit of Jobim's bossa-nova classics yet is not shy to swing the pieces.
