O’s Notes: Drummer and producer Bernie Dresel leads The BBB Jazz Orchestra, a 16-piece ensemble packed with energy. Dresel has been recognized as one of the best big band drummers for his dynamic style, timekeeping and impact. This is clear on The Pugilist, an upbeat, collect of 14 songs including unique arrangements of “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”, “You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To”, “All Blues” and “Zomby Woof”. We also dug “Positive For The Blues” with vocals from trumpeter Carl Sanders.
