Jazz

It's funny nothing much for a few years and then two albums end up getting finished right at the same time. This second one is with my friend and top class trumpet player Wayne Morley. It's the best part of a years work getting this together so I hope you like, and you never know, maybe you'll buy a copy, leave a review, or have a listen on iTunes = http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=674759844 ...... Any way here's the album info.

Wayne Morley an accomplished trumpet and flugel player with a beautiful Chet Baker sound and feel has collaborated with Mark Dorricott a keys player / songwriter to create a fourteen track album of original numbers called 'City Lights - Time Out Of Mind'. There's nothing really like this around at the moment, and if you want to hear some great late night jazz infused chill out sounds, you've come to the right place.

An album of two parts 'City Lights' which has more up tempo jazzy chill out sounds, and 'Time Out Of Mind' which has a downtempo late night feel. There's always a jazz element running through the whole album that flows through different vibes from chillhop to funk to latin to ambient and other places.

Rainy Nights In Paris Revisited

533 - Abandoned Places

...or keep the lights on....

Getting back to the essence of what I like; a funky, sexy and elegant interaction between keys, bass & drums with some lazy sensuous sounds floating above - definitely suitable for passion. Enjoy!

Late 2010 saw the world premiere of an exciting new work for guitar, orchestra and big band with the creation of ‘The Spirit of Django Suite’ by two of the biggest names in jazz, guitarist and composer Martin Taylor MBE and composer and arranger Guy Barker.  Guy Barker came up with the idea of basing the Suite around some of the themes that Martin Taylor had already written for his award-winning group Spiritof Django by creating an orchestral piece featuring Martin Taylor, Spirit of Django, the Guy Barker Big Band, and a full orchestra.  This recording is from the BBC Proms at London's Royal Albert Hall and the performers are:

Martin Taylor - Guitar
Guy Barker - Conductor
Spirit of Django 
Guy Barker Big Band
Britten Sinfonia

The Spirit of Django Suite was composed to ‘reek of nostalgia’, with many elements of Django Reinhardt and Debussy coupled with the sounds of black and white films of summers in France.  In fact France would also be the home of another key element to the piece, the great Jaques Tati, and this is reflected in a comedic almost cartoon like section in the piece.  The 54-minute orchestral suite is a very rare settingof a full symphony orchestra, a big band plus a small group and Martin Taylor.

Award winning guitarist MARTIN TAYLOR has established a unique musical career as an internationally acclaimed musician, and his inimitable style has seen him recognised as the world’s foremost exponent of solo jazz guitar playing.  As well as being a true guitar innovator, he is also a master concert performer, dazzling audiences with his solo shows, which combine virtuosity, emotion, humour, with a strong stage presence.  In addition to his solo concerts and recordings, he has also collaborated with musicians from many different musical genre including, Stephane Grappelli, Jeff Beck, Chet Atkins, Bill Wyman, George Harrison, Dionne Warwick, Sacha Distel, Bryn Terfel and Jamie Cullum.  He spends much of the year travelling the world, playing in concert halls in Europe, North America, Japan, Asia, and Australasia as well as presiding over the uniquely innovative Martin Taylor Guitar Academy online.

GUY BARKER is an award winning musician/composer and arranger.  As a trumpet player he has performed with many great artists including Dizzy Gillespie, Gil Evans, Quincy Jones, Frank Sinatra, Sting and Lena Horne.  His composing and arranging credits include The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Kurt Elling, Jamie Cullum, Paloma Faith, Melody Gardot plus many large orchestral projects for the BBC and the London Jazz Festival.  He has also composed music for films including The Talented Mr. Ripley and The Number One Ladies Detective Agency.  Two of his solo albums were nominated for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.

Spirit of Django Suite at the Royal Albert Hall

No midi trumpet here - this is the real deal -  Wayne  heard my midi trumpet version and has added some real trumpet to this Parker number. I really dig Wayne's sound on this number - has that Chet Baker feel. Remixed this one again pulling some of the high frequencies down on the trumpet to give a cleaner sound.
