O’s Notes: From symphonic to swing, Alan leads this large ensemble through several moods. Ferber, inspired by his great, great, grandfather has established his own path and aligned his compass to navigate through whatever obstacles have come along during his musical journey. The results are very good, as he has mixed his own compositions with covers that were arranged to suit his nonet. The dynamics are excellent and the sound layered well. We especially liked “Sundown” which was written with the chord changes from “Night In Tunisia”.
