Notes

Early in 2013 Michael Waldrop forwarded a portfolio of songs (jazz instrumentals) to Jack Cooper in order to commission big band arrangements. After Cooper arrived back from a trip to England in the Summer or 2013 he was finally able to assess to tunes a make some decisions. Because of the high quality of Waldrop's tunes it was suggested he try to pursue a whole commercial CD that would feature Waldrop. A substantial grant ($10,000) was obtained by Waldrop from Eastern Washington University to doing a CD.

Both a commercial big band CD and a 'Music Minus One' (for students drummers) types of projects were pursued. Due to the complexity of having both types of recordings and the many cost prohibitive factors involved, the decision was made to recorded during the Summer of 2014 in Dallas, Texas. The studio used was Crystal Clear Sound located in the northern part of the city

A very enjoyable album featuring top-notch ensemble playing, excellent soloists and some great compositions/arrangements. Michael Waldrop does a great job driving this big band and Jack Cooper is one of the most solid, talented jazz arrangers on the scene today. Check it out.
