The Best Of Bill Sargent Bands
Volume 1

This album is the real deal. NO SYNTHESIZED SOUNDS OR INSTRUMENTS WERE USED. 100% REAL instruments were used in its making, all played by real human beings.

This album represents the ultimate in human, and God’s, creativity. It contains all the exiting and spontaneous interaction between individual performers and the electricity between the bands and the audience.

All performances were single take, “LIVE”. There has been no tracking, no overdubs, and nothing has been digitally “fixed” or tweaked, i.e. Pro-Tooled.

What you get are real people, playing real music with awesome improvisation by some of the very best players on the planet.

This is HAPPY music! Songs that are upbeat and uplifting. Songs that swing with a groove and tempo that will get your feet tapping and your body moving.

This great for driving your car, staying awake while driving your car; during your exercise and workout routine, aerobic walking, jogging or running, while cleaning your house, while trudging through mundane chores. It also makes wonderful music at picnics and parties to help keep things in an upbeat mood.

THE BANDS ON THE CD

THE BILL SARGENT BIG BAND is hard driving, animalistic, kicking and swingin’! It’s an All-Star band of fantastic musicians who don’t need a studio and recording tricks to sound tight. They approach swing classics with a refreshing zip and more happening tempos. It’s a kinda  “in your face” sorta thing.

BILL SARGENT’S SWING KINGS is an All-Star hybrid swing band that plays both Dixieland and classic swingin’ straight-ahead jazz. The clarinetist has the best tone in the world combined with a hard driving improvisation that simply makes him the world’s greatest living clarinetist. The trumpeter wails with originality and imagination combined with chops that won’t quit. On and on and anything else said about the rest of the band, becomes a redundancy of what I wrote about the two guys above.

BILL SARGENT’S TRAD-JAZZ ROUSERS DIXIELAND BAND is happy, carefree and composed right before your very eyes, or ears. It’s a bodacious band that really kicks . . . nothing pretentious or refined about it. The musicians you’ll hear are phenomenal

THE BILL SARGENT QUARTET (plus one) is classy, cool and in the groove with awesome, refreshing, original vocals featuring Chelsea Krombach. Chelsea’s phrasing and ability to get into a song and make it go somewhere is as good as it gets, and maybe as good as it’s ever been. While she has since traveled the country with many famous jazz greats and traveling Broadway shows, she is currently appearing in New York on Broadway. What you won’t believe is the fact that this recording of her was made before she graduated high school!

Below are 2 minute* mp3 samples of songs on this album.

*The sample for the song "That's A-Plenty" runs 3:20 so you can hear some of our fantastic musicians. You'll get to sample Sax, Clarinet, Trombone & Trumpet solos. The full track runs 8:59.

Track - Song Title - Time - Band

1. St. Louis Blues March - 3:44 - The Bill Sargent Big Band - This is a popping version of a Glenn Miller Air Force Band arrangement that features Bill ala Ray McKinley that will get you up and bopping around the house. This is a great track for those who exercise or are into aerobic walking.

2. Fidgety Feet - 9:35 - Bill Sargent’s TRAD-JAZZ ROUSERS Dixieland Band - Is designed to do just that – get you moving . . . and smiling! This is a great track for those who exercise or are into jogging.

3. Avalon - 8:36 - Bill Sargent’s Swing Kings - Features the world’s greatest living clarinetist. Just when you think it has gotten as good as it can get, he takes another chorus and kicks it up a notch! This is a great track for those who exercise or are into running.

4. Over The Rainbow - 5:42 - The Bill Sargent Quartet - You may have heard this classic done many times before, in many ways, but not this way. Of all the versions I've EVER heard, this is the very best. It literally gives me goose-bumps every time I hear it. Chelsea sings with sensitivity and a passion that will take your breath away. Her phrasing is not only original, but the best I’ve ever heard. There’s one very long phrase she does that’ll make you say, “No way!” Only a young high school kid, with all the musical chops in the world, her whole life before her with a bright future could put this kind a real hope, expectation and belief into this song. Even if you don’t buy the whole album, you need to seek out this track and buy this track as an mp3. There’s no exercising here . . . only reflection and dreaming with a renewed hope and outlook.

5. Basin Street Blues - 5:50 - Bill Sargent’s TRAD-JAZZ ROUSERS Dixieland Band - Features our trombonist with a round, rich, commanding tone in a boisterous blues. This is a great track for those who exercise as a warm-up or cool-down or are into leisurely strolls.

6. And The Angels Sing - 3:17 - Bill Sargent’s Swing Kings - And yes, this “angel” of a vocalist sure does sing! A classic big band vocalist with a classic style. Features our Mr. Chops on trumpet playing the famous Ziggy Elman solo in a small group setting. He truly nails it!

7. American Patrol - 3:01 - The Bill Sargent Big Band - An upbeat version of a Glenn Miller classic. Nothing tame about this song. It drives, it’s dynamic and it swings like crazy. This is a great track for those who exercise or are into jogging. Awesome for uptempo Swing Dancing.

8. Tin Roof Blues - 7:24 - Bill Sargent’s TRAD-JAZZ ROUSERS Dixieland Band - Bodacious, bawdy blues. About as laid back as it gets . . . and talk about dynamic, from a whisper to a scream, it lets it all out. This is a great track for those who exercise as a warm-up or cool-down or are into leisurely strolls.

9. Two O’Clock Jump - 2:54 - The Bill Sargent Big Band - Nothing laid back, pretentious or classy here! The jumpin-est 2 minutes and 54 seconds of your life! For those who like to dance around the house while they work . . . you just may get all your work done in under 3 minutes!! Features the animals of the brass section. Punchy, precise, like bullets coming out of the brass. This is a great track for those who exercise or are into running. Incredible for uptempo Swing Dancing.

10. Bye Bye Blackbird - 5:08 - The Bill Sargent Quartet - Cool & grooving. Chelsea puts feeling, emotion and swing into this classic song along with a very original, inspired scat. Great trumpet solo too! Your toes will tap to this one. This is a great track for those who exercise as a warm-up or cool-down or are walking.

11. That’s A-Plenty - 8:59 - Bill Sargent’s Swing Kings - This is sooooo hot it burns! This is as driving, cooking, dynamic a Dixieland track as you’ll ever hear in your life. Played by our eight-piece band, it is exceptionally full and textured too. You’re gonna love our surprise ending . . . yea, we sure do have fun! This is a great track for those who exercise or are into running – but only if you’re really fast!

12. Sing, Sing, Sing - 11:52 - The Bill Sargent Big Band - Featuring Bill Sargent with an extended drum solo on the Gene Krupa/Benny Goodman classic. It’s a popping, happening tempo with “in your face” drive and spunk. Turn it up loud when you’re diving in the car and you’ll have no problem staying awake . . . just make sure you stay in your lane! :-)

Total Time:  1:16:36 (76:36)

Vocals - John Davis

Clarinet - Chuck Hedges

Trombone - Herb Draeger

Keyboard - Jeff Stoll

String Bass - Tom McGirr

Drums - Bill Sargent

Here’s what they are saying about it:

“HOW Y’ALL DOIN’?”    A typical Bill Sargent greeting to the worshippers at two Sunday services held at Christ The King Lutheran Church on Pilgrim Rd., Brookfield on February 14th. His “Rousers” consisted of Bill on drums, Chuck Hedges on clarinet. Herb Draeger, trombone, Jeff Pietrangelo, trumpet, Jeff Stoll, keyboard and Tom McGirr on bass. John Davis led the congregation on vocals. It was a dynamic and emotional gathering with some soul-cleansing words from Bill. For a group that didn’t rehearse . . . met for a sound check at 7:30 am . . . after a number of the musicians played late night gigs on Saturday . . . it was an inspired musical tribute by true professionals. Lutherans will never match hand-clappin’ Baptists fever but they “Let It Shine” very brightly over in Brookfield that Sunday. Too bad these events are so rare.

--- Unlimited Jazz Limited “JAZZLETTER”, March 1999

 BEFORE BUYING THIS RECORDING: 
“I don’t like jazz music.” --- Steve Reinheimer

(To which Bill replied, “Buy it. It’ll do ya good.”)

AFTER BUYING AND LISTENING TO THIS RECORDING:
“I take back everything bad I ever said about jazz!” --- Steve Reinheimer

“He’s (Bill Sargent) one of the finest drummers
you’ll ever see in church ministry.
And I’ve been around! I know.”

--- Pastor Gaylord Lemke, Minister of Music, Brookfield Assembly of God

“I’ll say this about the CD: The band is excellent! Where do you find guys that can play like that? . . . Chuck is fantastic of course, and the trumpet player is All Pro sounding (all star material). The trombone (my instrument) has a quite original sound that I’ve not heard the likes of. . . . Amazing, amazing! I have listened again to the CD and I am amazed how it “came together” so well. The singer was a great help in this I would say. Your work on the drums, of course, is fine. . . . it is clear that both the keyboard and bass were fine also.

I believe you will have a ministry of visiting other churches or assemblies doing essentially the same thing, i.e., “have church” with Spirit-filled praise and worship using the “Dixieland style.”

--- G. Nichols - Rockledge FL

“It was a dynamic and emotional gathering with some soul-cleansing words from Bill . . . an inspired musical tribute by true professionals. Lutheran's will never match hand-clappin' Baptists fever but they "Let It Shine" very brightly over Brookfield that Sunday. Too bad these events are so rare.”

--- Unlimited Jazz Limited "Jazzletter"

“It is awesome.”

– B. Allen - MI

 “Interesting to hear some tunes that were new to me!”

--- I. Wagerman – Sweden

"It was quite a revelation for me to see Bill Sargent up at the altar declaring a love of Christ . . . I’ve been wondering what ever happened over the years. This a.m. I found out you’re involved more than ever in lots of good things and Bill Sargent is doing O.K!!

After first service I told you that your group was great, but another astounding thing to me was to ever see Bill Sargent in this morning’s service professing faith as he did. I just never expected to hear you, or any of you musicians, stand up and speak about your inner self.

When you went down the aisle, I wished I’d had the nerve to join you and too bad I didn’t bring a decorated umbrella.”

--- J. Giese – Menomonee Falls, WI

“You are energetic, enthusiastic, expressive. I love it!

But after listening to your album, now I know Who it is that makes you so happy.

Your album made me smile, sing along, a praise our Forgiving Father for His patience and Love for all of us . . .

Thank you for your smile, your album and your Faith.”

--- Margie – Crown Point, IN

Here are a few SAMPLES of the songs on this fine Christian Dixieland Jazz recording:

Battle Hymn Of The Republic 1:29

Jesus Loves Me 1:19
