“… One of the nicest surprises of the evening was that the orchestra was also a pretty integral part of the band, too. Much of the credit for that must go to the arrangements [done by Halifax arranger Emanuel Serra.] These were not tacked-on, four bars up-bow, four bars down. Some of the charts were unexpected, and consequently refreshing.”
