I think it's a really strong CD -- the playing is almost mind-blowingly tight --- this is what a big band should sound like in 2008. What exactly are the "quotes and paraphrases" that you hear ?? Gordon has his own style of writing, and I think it serves him and the band well. And he is doing the UNTHINKABLE --- keeping a big band together with appearances, a loyal following, especially among younger players, and a recording contract. And from what I've seen and heard (from clips on the internet), the band is as tight and exciting in person as they are in the recording studio. A live CD might be a nice idea next time out.
