“Bon Appetit” is the Tim Gill All-Stars' debut album, and it's a stunning portrait of their unique fusion of old-school groove and new-school energy- this is NOT your grandfather's big band. Award-winning Vocalist and Trumpeter Tim Gill leads this high-octane cast of musicians through a plethora of fresh new arrangements, covering everything from Ray Charles (“Hallelujah, I Love Her So”), the Turtles (“Happy Together”), Illinois Jacquet (“Baby, Don'tcha Go 'Way Mad”) and Count Basie (“Jumpin' at the Woodside”). In addition, there are four of the band's original numbers; the swinging, tongue-in-cheek title cut, “Bon Appetit,” has plenty of surprises, while “She Can't Belong To Me” evokes subtle shadows of Gil Evans and Miles Davis. Closing out the program is the infectious shuffle of the band's signature blues tune, “Baby, Quit That Bangin' Around Upstairs,” a song Tim claims is dedicated to his “ex-upstairs neighbors.” Tim Gill & the Tim Gill All-Stars seek to merge the camaraderie and unbridled joy of the big band sound with solid helpings of 21st century rockstar energy and more than a little bit of humor. This music is not just a rehash of the “golden years” of swing music; it's a hip, culturally relevant portrait of how this music has evolved for today's audience.
