Full Descriptionmany jazz greats including Carl Saunders, Roger Ingram, Ron Stout, Andy Martin, Lanny Morgan, Jack Nimitz, Christian Jacob, and special guest Bob Florence.“This new disc at hand features Bud’s dynamic big band—the very first big band recording he has been positioned in as leader. “I really had fun with it. At my age now, to have that materialize for the first time is a genuine thrill,” reveals Bud. “I think most musicians dream of having a big band. Despite growing up in the big swing band era, it just never happened to me. After playing with the Barnet and Kenton bands, I went straight to the Lighthouse All-Stars and from then on it was small groups. Furthermore, as I’m a composer and not an arranger-writer, I never had the desire to have my own band for the purpose of hearing my writing.”The element of swing has long been key in Bud’s embodiment of musical values. In regard to the tunes, it’s not surprising he articulated firmly: “I definitely wanted swingin’ things as much as possible.” The charts were primed for swingfeel, indeed. In front of the band, Bud communicated a disposition of kinetic excitement. He was pumped up eager to swing!The band was shored with some of L.A.’s best corps of players. It was outrageous in its profusion of excellence from the steaming rhythm section of Christian Jacob, Joel Hamilton and Kevin Kanner to the blazing horns. Throughout the high caliber performance, the heartfelt emotion and joie de vivre of the event was a perceptible ingredient. As Lanny Morgan has predicted: “I think Bud Shank fans will be thrilled. It’s a tremendous effort!” Dr. Herb WongPast-President, IAJEAlumnus, KJAZ Radio, San Francisco
The Bud Shank Big Band: Lanny Morgan (reeds); Bud Shank (alto saxophone); Roger Ingram (trumpet); Andy Martin (trombone); Bob Florence (piano).

"In 2005 MAITREYA recorded the debut album New World Prophecy in the bands own studio/rehearsalplace RECLAB. A record combining elements of thought, aggression and strength presenting a future vision of the world."THE MAITREYA BIOGRAPHY - We never decided from what time Maitreya was formed. It just happened... (Linus Melchiorsen)BackgroundIt all originates from the metal music scene in Linkoping Sweden, when Martin Fogander and Nils Holmqvist met up at Linus Melchiorsens home to discuss the buildup of a studio. The three guys had previously been members in the same powermetal band called Powerdise a couple of years prior to this, and were all keen on doing this project together. There were no plans at this early stage to start and produce songs together at all. Linus was already a vocalist in a stoner band called Demental at this point, and he saw the opportunity to start a studio to be great, not just to learn more about the technical aspects of it, but also as a great place for his band to benefit from.The studio project started up in early 2004 and soon, due to various problems, Demental decided to split up.-When Demental layed down to rest I never even considered to stop writing songs. For me it is simply a call that I can not live without... (Linus Melchiorsen)Reclab:The studio project started for real as soon as Johan (Goomba) Nilsson, an educated sound engineer joined in. It developed to a better equipped studio, and Goombas knowhow about sound was something that both Martin, Linus and Nils were very interested and excited about. The co-operation with Goomba was something they all felt was productive and showed results they never could imagine, both in the perspetive of sound and the production of songs. The studio was named Reclab and some test recorings were made. Nils unfortunately decided to leave the companionship with Reclab because of a move to another ...
