'Electric Bath' a classic big band jazz rock album from 1968 by The Don Ellis Orchestra. Superb musical arrangements in odd time signatures and electric trumpet with loop and echo effects of #DonEllis certainly Zappa was influenced #nowplaying #DailyVinyl #vinylcollector #BigBandJazz #nowspinning

Been after 'Metropolis' by #MikeWestbrook for years on vinyl (1971) But it's rare and pricey. Bought this '79 reissue s/h coupled with the also great 'Citadel/Room 315' for £25 👍 features the who's who of #BritishJazz #ModernJazz #nowplaying #DailyVinyl #vinylcollector #vinyllover #BigBandJazz

Fletcher Henderson 1943 Publicity photo, Maurice Seymour Studios

#OnThisDay in 1897, Fletcher Henderson was born. His 1st career choice was to be a chemist, but he was also a talented pianist. He created his own formula of musical chemistry, introducing #swingmusic & #bigbandjazz to each other and to those who love it!

I'm a big fan of Vince Mendoza for the unique voicing he brings to his bands plus his versatility. He's worked outside of jazz with Joni Mitchell and I saw him live in Manchester UK with the wonderful Mary Chapin Carpenter. This album opens with Miles' "All Blues".

Patrick Williams worked with Frank Sinatra and he pays tribute here with a stellar band. Hugely enjoyable album.

Just set up a gig on fiverr, if you want me to make some batshit unhinged Big Band shit or soothing Jazz bgm for whatever it is you need (yes even multi-track OSTs) then hit me up.

This is a delightful CD by Bob Curnow. Sophisticated arrangements of the Metheny/Mays canon with superb players like Bobby Shew in the band. Recommended.

#RobertPlant strolled down memory lane to 1959 with “Sea of Love,” but did it one better with allusions to #BigBandJazz. 50s analog vibe with 80 sound production.

#DanishRadioBigBand and #DanishNationalSymphonyOrchestra playing #ThadJones composition 'Mornin' Reverend' beautifully arranged by conductor #MihoHazama. Probably the best 9 minutes to be had on a Sunday morning! #Jazzsky #Jazz+ #BigBandJazz #JazzMusic youtu.be/dlvWE31NfGE?...

I knew this sounded familiar! Amy Winehouse used Les Brown’s arrangement but changed the beat.. very cool
