ANDY FIRTH - Me, Myself & I-16 Clarinet Big Band 2020 Digitally Enhanced Re-issue of the 2000 Release

Bill Bailey

marks a dramatic but enjoyable departure from Andy’s jazz music recordings in a new, but comfortable relaxation & meditation music setting.
The recording has been inspired by Andy’s recent modest excursions into the practice of Yoga, Tai Chi, and Meditation.

The music on this recording has been carefully crafted to allow the listener to drift away to wherever their spirit and mind care to take them to.

Andy’s warm, emotion-packed clarinet sound is distinctive and soulful even when accompanied by caressing strings, soft cascading piano, or ethnic glimpses into other lands of mysticism and melody.

Sax To The Max! (Andy Firth)

The 3rd movement to "Clarinet Quartet in F major Op.415". The piece describes a hoard of sugar ants mounting an assault on my sugar bowl one morning. I instantly heard this theme in my head as I watched, so I wrote it down and it became the 3rd movement for the clarinet quartet I was working on at the time.

“Andy Firth is the first clarinettist in 30 years or so, since Eddie Daniels, that I have really paid attention to…what he can do on the clarinet, I consider to be impossible – yes true! The thing is, Andy doesn’t know this…and I’m not gonna tell him.”
Buddy DeFranco (US Living Legend: Jazz Clarinet) 21st March 2008 at  Andy's Carnegie Hall debut.

“Once in a blue moon, along comes an artist whose talent, musicianship and expertise is awesome. Such a man is Andy Firth, whose reputation as a brilliant performer is Australia wide and acknowledged Internationally as well. He is sought after as a wonderful teacher, a lecturer of “good music” and a fine composer. I am privileged to be associated with him and also call him a friend.” Maestro Tommy Tycho D.Mus,AM, MBE

“I have never heard anything like this guy; he is a one in a million! His musicality and playing is totally unique! Andy Firth is, in my opinion, one of our greatest artists and musicians like him pass this way but once. I am thrilled to have met and heard him perform!”
