Review by Jerson Otzoy

The album 1999 All Middle Tennessee Jazz Bands is a fantastic collection of jazz music performed by the 1999 Tennessee Second Mid State Jazz Band and the 1999 Tennessee First Mid State Jazz Band. The album features a wide range of jazz styles, from smooth ballads to upbeat swing tunes, and highlights the incredible talent and musicianship of these two groups.

The album opens with the Second Mid State Jazz Band's rendition of "In the Mood," a classic swing tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's tight rhythm section and dynamic horn players really shine on this track, and their energy and enthusiasm are infectious.

The First Mid State Jazz Band's contributions to the album are equally impressive. Their take on "Take the 'A' Train" is a standout, with the band's saxophone section really capturing the playful, upbeat spirit of the tune. The band's musicianship is also evident on slower, more introspective tracks like "Misty," where the delicate interplay between the piano and trumpet is simply beautiful.
