The
CLEVELAND Tough Old ProS
SWINGBAND

Our fourth CD is dedicated to those many individuals and foundations who have been so generously supportive of TOPS and our mission of bringing classic big band music to our senior (and a growing number of younger) audiences.

Thank you one and all.

Five selections (of 14) on the CD are represented.

The song samples below are encoded in stereo mp3 format. Make sure your speakers are turned on. If you don't hear the music when you click the link, you may need an mp3 player or an upgrade. Download the FREE Quicktime player from Apple. Either Mac or Windows. Click here.

SONG SAMPLES

1. There Will Never Be Another You. Ruth Griebel treats this great love song in a thoughtful, plaintive manner...the band swings it featuring Bob McKee's drumming, Dick Wooley, trombone; and Buddy Sullivan, tenor sax.

2. I've Got You Under My Skin. Larry Patch gives this his usual, inimitable swinging interpretation of this Cole Porter favorite. Larry does double duty as tenor sax soloist.

3. Deed I Do. No doubt who's loved in this up-tempo rendering... Betsy.

4. Blues In The Night. Ron Davis sings of the new way of looking at life and love.

5. I've Got Rhythm. The TOPS all-star rhythm section comes front and center in this big band Gershwin "smoker." Doug Day, piano; Don Day, bass; Bob McKee, drums.

Note: All arrangements for this CD are by Dick Wooley except They Can't Take That Away From Me.
