about

The music on these CDs covers a broad range from originals to pop tunes, and versions of jazz classics, perhaps arranged in an unusual way or others that are little more than transcriptions, mildly tweaked and adapted to suit the particular line-up available with this band.

"Morning Melody" is about a sunrise and "In the Hall of the Mountain King" seems to be a battle so it ends with a musical punchup. Billy Strayhorn (perhaps also Duke Ellington) did some of this music in their suites where they did jazz/classical fusions, usually to condemnation from the narrow minded critics. I borrowed just a little of their work, but certainly was influenced by them in the broad approach to the subject.

] All arrangements are made with space for the soloists in the band, giving them a chance to ‘strut their stuff’.
