DePaul University Jazz Ensemble
Bob Lark, Director
featuring: Jim McNeely
"What I have consistently noticed on prior recordings of the
DePaul Ensemble is how hard they swing. You'd never guess
that they are student musicians.
On That Being Said, they pass their Finals with a solid A."

“Bob Lark and the DePaul University Jazz Ensemble live up
to their award-winning reputation in swinging fashion, while
master altoist Phil Woods takes care of business with
another electrifying performance.”
- Edward Blanco, All About Jazz
“The band is tight, Phil Woods as always swings like mad,
and the recording quality of this CD is impeccable.”
- Jeff Krow, Audiophile Audition
“How good the band is becomes apparent on the last three
tracks, where the absence of Woods is hardly an issue.”

“The stereotypical academic stiffness of players simply
trying to read through the charts is nowhere to be found;
instead, the band sounds confident and relaxed, as do
soloists such as trumpeter Steve Thomas and
saxophonist Josh Quinlan.”

- Jack Bowers, All About Jazz
“Kudos go to Bob Lark’s directorship and the standout
musicianship and enthusiasm of the students. This is a
special band documented with merits.”
