ANNOUNCEMENTS

My new CD, Mike Barone Big Band Live 2005! Redux, has been released!
I decided to "redux" our Live 2005! recording for several reasons:  I can mix and edit much better than five years ago with improved FX. Some of the tracks have been shortened for airplay as they were too long to begin with. I can now include the bonus track "Grand Central." The result is a much higher quality recording. Purchase your copy of Mike Barone Big Band Live 2005! Redux today.

In December of 2006, I received the following message from radio host Jerry Swanberg:  I host BIG BAND SCENE on KBEM / Jazz 88 in Minneapolis and I picked your CD "Metropole" as one of the top 10 BB CD's of 2006. I'm recording cuts from the top ten next week and it will be aired the first week of January on www.jazz88fm.com. I also get input for the show from Jack Bowers (allaboutjazz.com/Cadence Magazine), Larry Routt (WOBO - Cincinnati), John Killoch (Mainly Big Bands - England) and Robert Robbins (Big Bands International). Your other CD "Live 2005" placed in the second ten. They all picked your Metropole in the top ten. I've received over 200 BB CD's this year from across the world so there is plenty of competition.
