Bigbandblast! sounds like the drummer of The Real Thing has assembled a hard-swinging big band, with stylistically eclectic choice of music, like Latin, backbeat, swing and heavy metal, but the common thread is preserved in that it is the same musicians playing on all the tracks. It was nominated for Spellemannprisen 2004,[2] and received splendid reviews in the press.[1]
The review by the Norwegian newspaper Bergens Tidende awarded the album 5 stars (dice).[1]
