O’s Notes: Jeff Rupert is a well accomplished musician and professor at the University of Central Florida where he directs The Flying Horse Big Band, composed of students. Unbridled is the latest of nine stellar albums under Rupert’s direction. Tenor saxophonist, George Garzone is the featured guest on four of the seven selections, and he makes the most of it on “Pharaoh’s Daughter” with Rupert (b-cl), and “Impressions”. “Chasin’ Tail” and “It Gets Better” give us a glimpse of some of the rising talent!
