3048 - The New England Conservatory Jazz Repertory Orchestra:
New!
Happy Feet: A Tribute to Paul Whiteman
The Whiteman orchestral sound, as fashioned by three of the greatest arrangers that ever worked in the field -- Ferde Grofe, Bill Challis, and the Dean of African American composers, William Grant Still -- is one of the half-a-sozen most original jazz sounds ever to have been created... ...In its own way the Whiteman sound is as original and as beautiful as that of Duke Ellington's orchestra -- very different, of course, but no less magical, no less inspired. And let no one forget that Ellington and the other great jazz orchestra leaders of the late 20's spent a great deal of time learning from the Whiteman "book", emulating it and marveling at its instrumental sophistication.

3049 - Buselli/Wallarab Jazz Orchestra:
New!
Basically (David) Baker
Basically Baker is a classic example of what can happen when you unify the saxophone, trumpet, trombone and rhythm sections of a big band and add a tuba to the ensemble, a distinct departure from earlier arranging techniques utilized by old-school bandleaders, such as Fletcher Henderson and Don Redman, back in 1930's and the swing era. Baker's more modern approach opens new dimensions in the music, creating new timbral textures and inspiring improvisers to explore more complex ideas.
