JAZZ: Swing/Big Band, JAZZ: Big Band
Details:
This album is, in part, a tribute to the artists who came before. Pres, Bean, the Kid and the Brute, Hamp, Benny, Basie, and the rest. The album is also a forward-looking testament to the new generation who has picked up the torch to carry it for a minute or so before passing it on.
Inspired by Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Ben Webster, Lester Young, and Gene Ammons, PorkPie is a 9-piece ensemble which recreates the "Boss Tenor" sounds of the 50''s and 60''s. The name Porkpie comes from the round-brimmed hat that many jazz musicians, including Lester Young, wore during that era. Porkpie incorporates top talent from the jazz, swing, and jump-blues genres, combined with the arranging skills of the area''s finest arrangers, to create a sound that''s unforgettable! The band''s sound is part Big Band, part small combo. A blend of new and old is created by mixing original music with classic swing. Porkpie''s strong, swinging groove and danceable sound is a favorite among the Pacific Northwest''s dedicated community of swing dancers.
