O’s Notes: Mitch plays vibes and drums and leads the Blooming Tones Big Band, a large ensemble that includes Jeremy Allen (b), Pat Harbison (t), Michael Spiro (vocals) and co producer Wayne Wallace (tb). He program is a mix of classics and Shiner originals. The covers are excellent arrangements as on “When You Wish Upon A Star”. The music is upbeat, vibrant and engaging with a powerful presentation.
