Description
Fil Lorenz plays tribute to the lesser-known Blue Note Records composers.”While the tunes of John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Lee Morgan, Joe Henderson, and Horace Silver receive regular treatment on any jazz gig,” Lorenz explains “I've always felt that there are other gems to be unearthed in the Blue Note catalog. We'll be presenting original arrangements of songs by lesser-known composers Hank Mobley, Donald Byrd, Walter Davis Jr.... , Elmo Hope, Kenny Dorham, and Tina Brooks.“
“The sound that inspires us, and that we shoot for ourselves, is a blending of that great 1960s Philly sound with the best big bands we can think of,” says bandleader / arranger / baritone saxophonist Lorenz. “Richard ‘Groove’ Holmes or Jimmy Smith meets the Woody Herman Orchestra. Those are my two favorite sounds in the world, and I wanted to get to both of them with this band.”
The Fil Lorenz Nonet includes some of the Bay Area's top up-and-coming names, including Mike Olmos and Erik Jekabson on trumpets, Adam Shulman on piano, and Jeff Marrs on Drums.
