Orange Then Blue:
Hold The Elevator: Live in Europe & Other Haunts |
 Recorded live
in Germany, Holland and New York. In the
big band tradition of Charles Mingus and Duke Ellington,
Orange Then Blue has been a proving ground for much great
talent — Dave Douglas, George Garzone, Matt Darriau,
Chris Speed.
Included in this exciting live release
— their sixth on GM Recordings — are five originals,
new arrangements of tunes by Billy Strayhorn, Hermeto
Pascoal and Tim Berne, and a sizzling Balkan march. |
“[OTB] excavates uninhibitedly
in the quarries of jazz history, freely appropriating
themes, sounds and styles, dismembering them and
unashamedly splicing them all together in daring new
combinations ... provocative, ebullient music!”
—Berlin Jazz Festival, recording site for “Smada”
and “Stentor” |
