I recently returned from Australia where I was recording my big band for my next album. I decided it would be cool to record half the album in Australia and half in Los Angeles. To tie it all together I have written a piece for double big band. A highlight of the trip was rehearsing the new piece with 2 big bands, only in Melbourne could I get a whole second band to show up for an hour just to run one piece. The sessions went really well. The sessions for the LA band are in May and the whole thing should be out in August.
