Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band is really the suave of big band music at the moment. After the demise of big band in the early 1950’s there really hasn’t been much going for the genre in modern times. Thankfully we have the Big Phat Band. The third album from Gordon Goodwin’s brilliant group is aptly titled, The Phat Pack. A collection of classic rag time jazz and upbeat big band originals penned by Gordon Goodwin himself, The Phat Pack is an album showing us the genre of big band is far from dead.




Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band, an 18-piece jazz ensemble, celebrates and personifies the best of the big band tradition with a very contemporary and original sound. Through the writing genius of Gordon Goodwin, SRO audiences have enjoyed one of the most craftsman-like hard swinging large jazz ensembles comprised of L.A.’s finest musicians. Gordon’s witty and insightful arrangements propel the listener on a journey through a myriad of styles: latin, blues, swing, classical, hard-hitting jazz, and even an homage to Looney Tunes.
