Submit Your ReviewRick Wald has been a busy sideman playing in New York since 1972. After years of playing in many different situations and leading his own part-time big band on and off since 1974, 16/NYC marks his long overdue recording debut as a big-band leader, an impressive self-produced effort that features Wald's arrangements and compositions. The allocation of solo space is pretty democratic, with 14 of the 16 sidemen all getting at least one solo. Wald sits in on "Over," taking a fine spot on alto. The writing is at times slightly reminiscent of Bill Holman's but Wald's charts are quite original, modern, complex and swinging, helping to define the modern mainstream of 21st century big-band writing. Fans of modern big bands should go out of their way to acquire this excellent effort. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
