The latest disc from Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band, The Phat Pack showcases more of the hot licks that fans have come to know and love. In addition to the playful jazz of such tracks as “Whodunnit?” and “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes”, the Big Phat Band teams up with guest vocalist Dianne Reeves, fresh from winning a Grammy for her work on the soundtrack to the Oscar winning film “Good Night and Good Luck.” In true “Rat Pack” fashion, Dianne tackles a sexy arrangement of the timeless Frank Sinatra classic “Too Close for Comfort” that is sure to become a classic in its own right. Her energy is as infectious as her vocal stylization, and if anything rings true for the Big Phat band, it’s consistent energy-timeless and classic. Gordon Goodwin comments about this vibe that ran through the creation and recording of the Phat Pack: “We in the Big Phat Band have similar aspirations as the original Rat Pack: To bring to our audience a form of timeless, creative music that remains significant. We try to play this music with energy, passion and abandon, and with the same sense of fun that Frank, Sammy and Dean had. We just do it without the tuxedos and the martinis and the cigarettes and the gambling and the guys named Jilly and the showgirls….
…Showgirls. Hmm. Now there’s a thought”.

BIG PHAT BAND FEATURED IN NEW BOOK!
Great gift idea for all those big band jazz lovers out there!
Where did big bands and swing music go?
They didn't leave. . . but many Americans actually believe they disappeared along with ballrooms, jukeboxes, bobby sox and zoot suits decades ago.
Band leader Brooks Tegler, who has recreated the great music of World War II with his Army Air Corps Review Big Band, offers a good response. "In order for something to come back, it needs to have gone away. Big bands have wrongly been put in that category. They never went away."
And that's the essence of the chapters of writer Jack Behrens' book about America's big bands, ballrooms and dancing's past and present. And there's a good look at the future through the eyes of a number of young bandleaders from the east to west coast who carry on in the tradition of Guy Lombardo, Glenn Miller, Harry James, Woody Herman, Duke Ellington and a host of other music legends in their own distinctive way.
You can order Jack's new book from the following link and read about GG's Big Phat Band!
