The power and the majesty that the big band format can create requires delicate care in its capture; it is a temperamental, fire-breathing, wild beast that may tolerate confinement for a short time, but ultimately demands to be free and wild; untethered – released. This recording stands as a testimony, a documentation, a tribute, and above all, a living legacy to vintage recording technology and the outstanding individuals who know how to work it, the composers, the arrangers, the amazing musicians and most importantly, one of the greatest American treasures, Big Band Jazz.

Description

The new album from The BBB Featuring Bernie Dresel

SHIPPING APRIL 29th – pre-order now!

On October 15 – 16, 2024, a Congress was held in a great Temple of Sound.

With Bernie Dresel as Captain at the helm, this Clipper ship was deftly and gracefully navigated on an epic adventure that harkens back to the golden era of music and production. He provides the guidance and the driving energy that propels this ensemble forward with kinetic force.

The power and the majesty that the big band format can create requires delicate care in its capture; it is a temperamental, fire-breathing, wild beast that may tolerate confinement for a short time, but ultimately demands to be free and wild; untethered – released.

This jazz orchestra is comprised of 16 seasoned pros on the Los Angeles studio scene. The sound has a contemporary and dynamic energy with a focused edge to it that is like no other jazz orchestra. At times, it is reminiscent of drummer-led ensembles of the past. The instrumental makeup is unique in that there is no piano, but jazz/rockin’ acoustic and electric guitar instead.

Deluxe Edition: 1x 12” LP, 180g vinyl, black – Ships 29th April 2025 – available to order now!
