Jazz Big Band Recommendations?


Are there any other Big Band fanatics out there? I'm looking for some new stuff. Not the usual oldies (Basie, Ellington, etc.), but some good modern big bands that may not be that well known.

I recommend the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band. The Mosaic set is out of print, but individual CDs are still available. These are the charts that Basie did not want to
touch because they were too complex.
