Mary's Ideas

” Like their previous treatment of the music of Don Redman‘s Big Band The King of Bungle Bar (Umlaut, 2018), the performance is crisp and swinging. The band traces William’s history from Kirk’s band to a chamber orchestra rendition of her “Zodiac Suite” and “Roll ‘Em” with a chamber orchestra, plus her “History Of Jazz For Wind Symphony.” Along the way the Umlaut Big Band plays music from and for Ellington, bebop, boogie woogie, and spiritual jazz. This is one brilliant and astonishing document. ” Mark Corroto
