This is 30 trumpet, flugelhorn and alto horn layers over a patented, top secret, proprietary chord progression, featuring an astonishing alto horn solo by the legendary Briton  Jack Sprat III. The rhythm section is drummer Hairy Belcher and bassist Normel Dewdad.

This grew out of my madness over this fucking pandemic. Plus I always wanted to do something with the idea. Not writing style you hear from me but that campy swing in my head, mixed with the dense, sterile horns on a tone row I wrote thirty years ago, promised to at least be fun to make. I have no idea what it will be for anyone else.
