Entertainment Reviews:

Down Beat - 9/97, pp.41-42
3.5 stars (out of 5) - "Yes, indeed, this is one brassy album....J.J. Johnson has today's top session players in his pocket, his hip pocket....a sweet mood music..."
JazzTimes - 10/97, pp.102-103
"...Johnson continues to explore the aquatic majesty of large ensembles and orchestral compositions....a stunning array of compositions that range from starkly beautiful ballads, to fiesty Latin-tinged grooves, to brisk bebop excursions..."
Vibe - 9/97, p.239
"...J.J. Johnson has reached a higher plateau with his latest masterwork, THE BRASS ORCHESTRA. A breathtaking collection of 14 tunes scored for the big band..."
Option - 11-12/97, pp.99-100
"...an intriguing, multi-hued and musically excellent 71 minutes of music....avoids sounding like traditional big band, self-conscious avant-garde or third stream..."
