Frank Foster's Loud Minority Big Band - We Do It Diff'rent (2003)

Jazz, Swing, Big Band | Released: Apr 08, 2003

& 8220;

In Frank’s words, "This is something quite different… I’m not trying to revolutionize the big band, I’m just telling it the way I hear it with thirteen horns and a rhythm section." After leading the Basie band for a decade, in ’95 Foster put down the baton to form his band—the Loud Minority. I jumped at the chance to record their week residency at NY’s Jazz Standard. The band was on a roll, playing high-energy, devil-may-care jazz. The crowd loved their blazing brass, their stomping solos, the powerful baritone vocals, the peerless Foster arrangements. My mikes captured the electric excitement of Jon Faddis’ trumpet solos, Basie-singer Dennis Rowland’s rabble-rousing "Wild Women Don’t Worry", and Sylvia Cuenca’s thunderous drum solo on "Lover".
