Description
“Drummer Sherrie Maricle’s highpowered New York–based big band’s third recording, I Believe in You, crackles with the sort of energy and passion inspired by Maricle’s peerless role model, the late Buddy Rich. On the evidence here, there’s not much these women can’t do, and do as well as anyone… This is one of the country’s foremost working bands, period. The more you listen, the more you hear. For a truly memorable experience, catch DIVA in person; if you can’t do that, here’s the best alternative.”
Jack Bowers
“This big band excels in every department: it swings with nonchalant ease at whatever tempo or in whatever mood; it possesses a battery of interesting jazz soloists – original, relaxed exciting improvisations crop up during every one of the nine tracks on offer. In sum total, one heck of a band – fifty-five minutes of grand, happy-sounding, ultra-musical entertainment. Congratulations due to Sherrie and her ladies; may we hear much more of the same, please… ”
Ken Rattenbury, Crescendo & Jazz Music
