THE AIRMEN OF NOTE: Invitation

THE AIRMEN OF NOTE
Boa parte da trajetória dos "Note" já foi contada no blog, em outras postagens desta fantástica "big band".

ALBUM REPORT
Over the years, the Airmen of Note has commissioned works from some of the most acclaimed names in jazz composition (as named below, in the tracklist). This project, the first under the new leadership of the Airmen of Note, is a compilation of eleven such compositions and arrangements. Under the combined leadership of superintendent SMSgt C.E. Askew and music director SMSgt Joe Eckert, the "Note" proudly extends this Invitation to listen to some of today's most imaginative writing for big band. The Airmen of Note is honored to have so many outstanding writers eagerly contribute to its repertoire. It is a privilege to share this collection of artistry with you.

MINHA OPINIÃO - mais um grande álbum dos "Note". Arranjos NOTEáveis (oops, esse foi péssimo...) escritos por excelentes arranjadores, com destaque para o gigante Rob McConnell. Como tudo o que vem dos "Note" é OURO EM PÓ.
