Colin James "Colin James & The Little Big Band II" 1999

Colin James is a great Canadian artist and puts on a foot stomping live show. When with The Little Big Band, Colin crosses the jazz sound with blues, resulting in a much more layered composition. Pleasing to the palate and try to stop your body from moving. You just can't. Highly recommend this disc. Or any or all of his discs. - Norbert Schiwinsky

It is hard to believe that Colin James was not available on records in Europe until recently, but this boy from Canada is a jack of all trades and overseas permanently on all stages and with all the greats of the rock business. In addition to his solo activities, this is the second of meanwhile three long players that Colin James has recorded with his 'Little Big Band' - a troupe of old hands of swing, rhythm & blues and rock'n roll who really are washed up and you can hear that here also. First and foremost, besides Colin's tasteful guitar playing, I would name the old warrior Greg Piccolo, who has earned his merits at Room Full of Blues and plays a great saxophone here and also arranges the brass parts. Very good song selection of not overly famous classics and own compositions, absolutely first-class arrangements and a great production ensure a lot of listening pleasure, also great for the next party. - BeeGee
