O’s Notes: Arranger/bandleader Mast Masters assembles a large ensemble focused on Ellington Saxophone Encounters. The featured reedman is Gary Smulyan on baritone sax. He is not alone however as fellow saxophonists Pete Christlieb, Don Sheldon, Gene Cipriano and Tom Warrington also make hay. Joe La Barbera keeps time with Bill Cunliffe tickling the ivory making this dozen classics pop. Masters ensembles always swing and this is no exception, yet another winning set.
