Bob Chester was and still is criticized for being a carbon-copy of the Glenn Miller sound. His band is actually quite good and because we haven't heard his records umpteen times, his stuff is actually more fun because it's like hearing something brand-new for many big band enthusiasts. "Cuban Boogie Woogie" and "Octave Jump" are very good and Dolores O'Neil (as a trivia note, she was related somehow to the great Eugene) was a vocalist with an original, rather strong voice and her vocals hold up better than say, Marion Hutton's (I never thought she could sing worth a dime).
