Notes

"Creating this album with JBBG has enabled me to delve more deeply into the concept of a new 'big band sound', starting with the traditional instrumentation (augmented with cello, synth and Theo Bleckmann/voice) and completely leaving behind the traditional forms of big band composition. I have never been moved to incorporate shout choruses, sax solis, or other
traditional big band arranging techniques - my inclination has always been toward using the energy and power that are inherent in a band of 18 musicians - appreciating the force of
18 musicians playing in unison or the subtle impact of having the entire band whistling like a bird..."
