Drawing predominately from the standard songbook (though the group does have some original tunes), the South Nine Ensemble bridges the gap between big-band swing and small-group jazz. Not an easy trick. They pull it off with damn fine musicianship and orchestration, moving effortlessly from angular, driving, bebop to cymbal-lead swing. And, as evidenced on the band's recent release, The Llama, their leaps are not the herky-jerky transitions you'd expect, but full of brassy, yet nuanced classical jazz vocabulary.
