Bob Florence leads the way in the survival of the modern big band. His Limited Edition group is more than just a large ensemble; it is a living, breathing animal with a personality and imagination all its own. As the leader, Florence is the brain of the beast and operates its various limbs--or sections, you might say--with the all the fluidity and strength of any other intelligent being. On SERENDIPITY 18, Florence lets the band loose to run and jump through its paces and exercise its powerful muscles.
As a composer and arranger, Florence is at the peak of his powers here, unleashing with the burning title cut that comes out with all guns firing before shifting in and out of intricate ensemble passages. Stanley Turrentine's grooving "Sugar" is a disc highlight that showcases the band's ability to boogie on a sizzling shuffle. Shifting gears, the gentle "Tres Palabras" is a beautiful feature for Florence's often forgotten piano skills. The grand finale is the massive "3 E-Motions" suite, which features every aspect of the group's many talents. Other highlights are the clarinet feature "Bimbosity" and the inspired ballad "Evelyn."
