Description

Alligator Crawl is the title track on an album recorded by Fats Waller in New York in November 1934 and is also listed as a Grade 8 Piano work on the Associated Board Exam Syllabus.

“One of the all time great brass recordings OF ALL TIME”

Jiggs Whigham
International Jazz Trombone Soloist and Musical Director, BBC Big Band

“Every now and again a recording that is both truly outstanding and will have great appeal to brass band listeners appears on the shelves. We are delighted to make it the first recipient of our CD of the Year Editors Award.”

Kenneth Crookston
British Bandsman

“This is joyous stuff; an intelligent, coherent crossover disc, performed with phenomenal punch. Brilliantly recorded too – what’s the point of assembling a collective of virtuoso brass players if they can’t make your ears bleed ?”

Graham Rickson

“The entire programme can be likened to a sumptuous feast, with each track having its own highly delectable and thoroughly satisfying flavour. The CD is surely compulsive listening for all brass and percussion enthusiasts.”

C Brian Buckley
Brass Band World

“All cleverly arranged and beautifully played, with excellent sonics.”

John Sunier
Audiophile Audition

“Wow! What a great CD. The playing is superb”

Dr. Robert Childs
Musical Director, Cory Band
