It's About Time (Audio CD)
McDonald’s compositions are wonderfully structured and infectiously melodic, giving the players some substantial musical territory to explore... the album is a sonic delight, vibrant and full, giving proper aural space to soloists and fully textured beds of sound to the ensemble.
- Bert Saraco, The Phantom Tollbooth.
Chris McDonald’s arrangements are predominant at every level on each track. This is, therefore, a grandiose album, in cinemascope format, joyful, inventive, pleasing, swinging from all sides, which can give you excellent moments, especially if you have an excellent Hi-Fi system to enjoy the breathtaking mix of this album, which certainly deserves to be included in our “Essential” albums-
