Bob Wilber and the Three Amigos

Bob Wilber-soprano sax, clarinet Pieter Meijers-soprano sax, clarinet Antti Sarpila-soprano sax, clarinet Rossano Sportiello-piano Bucky Pizzarelli-guitar John Cocuzzi-vibes Nicki Parrott-bass Eddie Metz Jr-drums The Three Amigos is not a table-hopping Mariachi band, but an ever-cruising all-star jazz combo, so dubbed during a gig in Mexican waters when they first played together. Don't let the Alaskan wolf jackets throw you off, they are mementos from another cruise destination, the 49th state. If luxurious cruise ships come to mind, you've got the picture. This particular journey took the Amigos to a Florida studio where the eight world-class Amigos led by Bob Wilber strut their stuff, whether as soloists or tight ensemble players, backed by a swinging rhythm section, fresh from the Third Arbors Invitational Jazz Party.  Selections: Limehouse Blues The Mooche Avalon In an Old Deserted Ballroom Basie-issimo Blue Horizon The Best Things in Life are Free Willow Weep for Me Isotope Rag Tampa Bay Trot Jubilee Stomp Passport to Paradise Keepin' Out of Mischief Now Black and Tan Fantasy Bernfest '96
