Mora's Modern Rhythmists is a great 10-piece recreationist band. At least 4
CDs--the last one featured Fud Livingston arrangements. There's also a
small unit with a new CD, but I haven't heard it.

Mike Henebry's Crazy Rhythm Hot Society Orch. is excellant. Their CD
"Fade-in" is a fabulous recreationist CD that features transcriptions of
hot jazz orch. records.

These 2 bands show beyond doubt that recreationism can be a viable approach.
