The "A Sign Of The Times" (A.S.O.T.T.) Band was established in 1999 by trombonist and composer Tyrone Jefferson (music director for the Godfather of Soul, JAMES BROWN "off-and-on" from 1981 to 2000). Ascension is the band's first ALL-Original-Music CD.
ASOTT (and by extension the "Ascension" CD) specializes in three genres of music: (1) Swing Music (in the spirit of the Great Big Bands from the Swing Era like Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Fletcher Henderson); (2) Classic Rhythm and Blues (à la James Brown, Stevie Wonder, and Earth Wind & Fire); and (3) World Music from the African Diaspora.
The Charlotte (NC) Observer daily newspaper has stated:
"Charlotte is emerging as the country's next world-class city! Voted as one of the best places to live in the United States, Charlotte's time has come - making this community the perfect back drop for an organization like the "A Sign Of The Times" (A.S.O.T.T.) Big Band."

This an excellent album. Displays the groups diverse musical talents
author: Mike Jenkins-NYC Radio Disc Jockey/Engineer
This CD provides such a mix of music, I could play the entire
album without fatigue. Rich vocals with superb audio quality soar on Ascension, the definition of the funky drums and bass on Come Party keep your head nodding and feet tapping. Buy this! It is a must have for real music lovers.

There is something for everyone on this CD.
author: Kelly Webb
I had the pleasure of seeing ASOTT perform songs from this CD, and they are even better in person (unlike some bands whose CDs are studio-produced but can't cut it live). Rocky Whittaker is an incredible tenor with alot of range and even more charisma! My favorite song on the CD is "Cuddling Blues". If that doesn't get you in the mood, nothing will! Tony is awesome as well! The horn section smokes! What can I say? There's alot of talent in this group! I can't wait until their next CD comes out!
