Steve Spiegl has spent decades as a fixture in the American jazz big band scene, dedicated to the tradition without treating it as museum work. "Then And Now" from 1993 swings hard with contemporary sensibilities, Spiegl's arrangements giving working musicians space to breathe and solo voices room to shine. The "then and now" concept likely juxtaposes classic material with original writing, showing the big band's range. Spiegl's records deliver the scale and power of big band jazz without sounding preserved in amber.
