| Fred Cantu |
Last Thursday the 20th of March, I had the joy of seeing Fred Cantu's Big Band down on the south side of the city (Chicago). The band plays once a month at Redmond's 5730 S. Archer Ave. What a lineup of musicians he has playing with him! WOW!
Let's start with Fred Cantu, the leader of the band. I'll start off by telling you he's a great guy! You can't find a better person to lead a band of this size. He's respected by the musicians that play with him and he blows a great trumpet. If you're a fan of Maynard Ferguson,

Fred has that range. He does it in a way that makes you go DANG! Man, he gets up there -- what range he has! Again I write in layman terms. Everyone should have an opportunity to see this band. Horns, horns, horns. You can't leave out the drummer, Frank Alongi -- he smokes! Bass man Alex Feldman, Keys, Jose Sandoval.
Let me tell you about the trumpet section. You have players like Terry Connell, Mark Roller, Pat Epley. The Bone players, John Mose and Tim Madden -- hit it hard! Tenor Sax, Joel Moore, Michael Hesiak, Alto Dave Creighton and the best dressed and one hell of a Bari player, Mr. Kevin Gawthorp. Also can't leave out the guys that were off that night. Steve Gaugel and Dave Creighton -- also great players. What a group of players! You must see these guys!
