Flying High CD music
$14.55 
NEW YORK NEW SOUND was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album.
This star-studded party led by long-revered Gerald Wilson reads like a roll call of jazz history past and present. Something of a great-grandfather to the tradition, Wilson has worked as a composer, arranger, and trumpeter for the likes of Jimmie Lunceford, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Nancy Wilson, and Ella Fitzgerald, to name a few. Here Wilson is joined by old friends and luminaries such as trumpeter Clark Terry, saxophonist Jimmy Heath, and pianist Kenny Barron.
NEW YORK, NEW SOUND gets off to a blistering start with a version of Miles Davis's "Milestones" that's as relentless and acrobatic as the original. The spectral, repetitious figures of John Coltrane's "Equinox" do not lose their intimate intensity in this large ensemble setting, instead they are enhanced, and solos from pianist Renee Rosnes and trombonist Benny Powell are true to the exploratory nature of the piece. The rest of the compositions are Wilson's, ...
| | Bob Florence Limited Edition Whatever Bubbles Up CD (2003)
Flying High music CDs
$13.45 
Long one of the top arrangers in jazz, Bob Florence contributed seven inventive charts to five of his originals and two standards on this swinging, yet often complex, set and also takes "Never Let Me Go" as a sensitive piano solo. "Dukeisms," a lengthy piece commissioned to celebrate Duke Ellington's 100th birthday in 1999, has quotes from five Ellington pieces. Other selections include the cooking blues "Nerve Endings" (highlighted by Carl Saunders' trumpet solo), a sensitive reworking of "Chelsea Bridge," a fairly abstract "Kissing Bug," trumpeter Steve Huffsteter's ballad feature on "Q&A," and the title cut. Other key soloists include guitarist Larry Koonse; altoist Kim Richmond; tenors Tom Peterson and Jeff Driskill; trombonists Charlie Loper, Bob McChesney, ...

$13.15
Although there weren't many big bands on the jazz scene in the 2000s, being a big band leader, composer, and arranger is no retro exercise for Bob Florence. A veteran whose experience dates back to the 1950s, Florence knows how to work a large ensemble, and 2007's ETERNAL LICKS AND GROOVES ...
| | Carl Saunders Lost Bill Holman Charts CD (2007)
Flying High album
$13.25
In the early '80s, saxophonist Ted Richardson, a geologist by day, commissioned Bill Holman to write material for a septet album. After all of the ten arrangements were written, the project never took place and the charts sat in a closet for 20 years. Carl Saunders, lead trumpeter with Holman for many years and a brilliant soloist, unearthed the arrangements, and on this 2007 CD the music was finally recorded. Since Holman is one of the most brilliant arrangers in jazz history, the wait was worth it. While there are many fine solos along the way by Saunders (whose lines on the trumpet seem both ...

Paul's Grandfather came to be in October 2008 at Fredonia State College after three female singer-songwriters; Kate Preston, Rebecca Ryskalczyk, and Karrah Teague hit it off and decided to start a band. With three part female harmonies, a guitar, piano, kick-drum, and a tambourine the girls began to develop a unique musical style that reflected their different personalities. Shortly after, they began recording their EP, titled "No Home" with sound recording majors Jon Gernhart and Brandon Battles. It was around that time ...
