The Candoli brothers, Pete and Conte, have combined their exceptional trumpet playing talents to produce an exciting big band-small jazz combo, which we can hear in this CD. Backed by four rhythm headed up by master pianist Lou Levy, the brothers make constant use of the best notes and harmonies for the horns. This is evidenced by their interpretations of 'Take the "A" Train,' 'Willow Weep For Me' and 'Doodlin'.'
The Candolis have put together a repertoire which features their respective talents as well as showing off their individual personalities.
