Greg Spero - Chicago Experiment - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Following the global success of The Chicago Experiment, the long awaited fourth in The Experiment Series, Greg Spero brings us 8 unreleased tracks from the original sessions. While the sound is instantly recognizable, The Chicago Experiment Revisited expands on the original in a flowing and explorative way. Revisited is not a group of bonus tracks assembled for commercial sale; it is a cohesive and deeper look into the artistry of the players and their relationship to one another.

Hard charging, high octane stuff that never let's you down, or even comes up for air, this is a must for big band fans... Killer stuff. - Midwest Record. Saxophonist, composer, arranger Greg Yasinitsky created his YAZZ Band project as a laboratory for his contemporary, original big band compositions. Made up of mostly Pacific Northwest-based improvisors and ensemble veterans, InchNew NormalInch reflects the times when gathering as a group is not an option. Recorded ensemble tracks from before COVID-19 emerged were combined with recordings done in isolation from faraway outposts including Los Angeles, Baton Rouge, and Italy, allowing for some dynamic new musical options to be explored. From the blazing InchG.P.Inch and InchDiva,Inch to the heartfelt InchSong for Laura,Inch or the funk of InchBlues for Brecker,Inch Yasinitsky's YAZZ Band offers a wide ranging set of hard-swinging and joyful original music.

'Heritage', presented by the Fondation Gautier Capuçon, is part of the Foundation's annual recording initiative, which spotlights it's laureates and reinforces it's long-term commitment to developing emerging classical talent. This edition features Mirabelle Kajenjeri (violin) and Elias Moncado (piano), offering them a high-visibility as rising artists within a structured mentorship and career development ecosystem. The program combines cornerstone repertoire (sonatas by Maurice Ravel and Johannes Brahms) with shorter works by Claude Debussy and Lili Boulanger.
