The Causeway Suite, by James Hamilton Jazz Orchestra

The Causeway Suite

by James Hamilton Jazz Orchestra

supported by

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) This is for the place in my heart, where great big band music resides. I just go for fat brass and woodwind with slight deliberate dissonances! The compositions and arrangements are breathtaking, and even the improvisations are top-notch. Found in "ilbergo's" very interesting collection. Favorite track: Part 1 - Arrival.

about

James Hamilton Jazz Orchestra Leeds

Northern Irish born, Leeds based composer/trumpet player. The orchestra was set up ages ago and has been the agent of ruin on my life ever since. I got into jazz for the money, fame and girls, unfortunately I was well over half a century too late. In 2011 the orchestra won a British Composers Award, 2 Jazz Yorkshire awards and a partridge in a pear tree, the search for money and fame continues. ... more

Ward's swirling, breezy sax feels very close and intimate - listening to it I pictured myself in a small basement room as the band played - but the 10 tongues paint a joyful and sophisticated urban fairytale that changes scene cinematically and builds to a satisfying finale. Tom Colquhoun
