The impressive thing about Banks' colorful and consistently swinging arrangements is their clean, uncluttered quality. Her voicings bring out the most in a melody line, and her writing behind the soloists prods them with well-placed and not overbearing punctuation. The band is brimming with first-rate soloists who are allocated a generous amount of room, but Ms. Banks' main impact is felt in the orchestra's high musicianship and tight ensembles.
