This album features 13 tunes spanning from the 1920’s through the 1970’s. The tracks draw heavy inspiration from the swing era and have been lovingly arranged for people, plants, and animals who like to dance.
Our collection of arrangements spotlights some of history’s powerhouse jazz composers / innovators: Lil Hardin Armstrong; Duke Ellington; Mildred Bailey; Ella Fitzgerald; Lionel Hampton; Walter Bishop Sr., Fats Waller and more - and showcases their work alongside musical pioneers from the 1950’s - 70’s: Mort Garson and Les Paul. We’ll present direct transcriptions of these compositions alongside splendid re-imaginings of their original concepts.
This album was recorded in March, 2020 at The Eagle Room studio in Weaverville, NC. Special thanks to our sound engineer, Matt Williams. Much love to our graphics designers, Alyssa Kelley (album art) and Caroline King-Carmody (peacock logo on CD).
