"The Pete Cater Big Band is probably the tightest, hippest most dynamic big band to be
heard in the UK today ... 15 men swinging. There's nothing more exhilarating. I felt it with
Woody Herman's Herd, Maynard Ferguson and Buddy Rich .. and that same excitement, the
kind that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, is generated by the Pete Cater
band .."  
Malcolm Laycock from his BBC big band special radio 2 show

5 saxes (also doubling on other wind instruments)
