I admired that band, and Rob was a great player, but for a few reasons his charts always struck me cold--- he wasn't one of my favorite writer/arrangers. I also thought he over-used the great Arnie Chycosky in the lead chair in that band. His charts were, for me anyway, too long, too scattershot, and he had this habit occasionally of slowing down or "halving" the tempo on a really burning chart that would drive me crazy. Great players in the band , though, with Arnie, the great Ed Bickert, Sam Noto, Ian McDougall, and others. I just wish more material could have been arranged by other people.
