JILL TOWNSEND BIG BAND Tales from the Sea
“The
recording captures the ensemble’s silky mastery of Townsend’s playful
compositions and arrangements and showcases the brilliance of players
such as Ross Taggart, Brad Turner, Campbell Ryga, Jack Stafford, Dennis
Esson and Bill Coon…” Joseph Blake - Times Colonist
“every soloist shone, but the real star was Townsend herself, whose detailed, intricate charts swung with impressively Ellingtonian suavity…” Alexander Varty - Georgia Straight
"The band is superb. The soloists are uniformly great and the entire production is excellent." Rob McConnell (trombonist, arranger/composer, leader of Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass and the Rob McConnell Tentet)
Kenny Wheeler (trpt/composer/arranger)
