Bob Mintzer Big Band April 7, 2009

Bob Mintzer breathes fresh, contemporary life into the big band medium. Mintzer's early gigs with Eumir Deodato, Tito Puente and the Thad Jones and Mel Lewis Big Band were inspirational to him. His own big band sound reflects a lot of this earlier work. When listening to Mintzer you will hear not only traditional jazz elements, but also rock, Latin and fusion influences
