It's a few takes on it.

Listening to Dazzler dazzle
with that big band sound so
well, was inspiring. I know
he was having a lot of fun.
It sounded just great.

I was moved to revisit this
arrangement, the tune written
by Billy and from his "Conund-
rum" release, with the London
Jazz Orchestra:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Peter, thanks for the comments mate - very kind of you. Incidently, The London Jazz Orchestra is a big band that I play with regularly and consequently some of Billy's arrangements too. They have just recorded a new album of arrangments by a trumpet player called Ed Sarif. It wasn't me on that particular recording but the AMAZING drummer/percussionist, Paul Clarvis. I have played the tunes however and they are well hard!! In 11/8 and 13/8, a proper roast as we say over here!
The band has been going for over 10 years now and you're right, Billy has guested with them. It's a great big band that plays very contemporary music, composed by it's players.
Incidently... I'm loving your salsa grooves.

And thanks for the compliments shedder and Pete. The groove is on a snowboard video by Mack Dawg Productions called 'Breakdown', soon to be released worldwide.

Dazz,

Thanks. What do you think of
my ideas for the some of the
LJO, like that one just above:

...especially since you played
with them. Your opinion matters
even more on these.

who was that big band Peter? Funny that you mentioned the LJO though... I got a call to play with tomorrow night! You must mention some other bands Peter and maybe the phone will ring!!

That was the LJO (London
Jazz Orchestra), on Billy's
"Conundrum" - the play-along
that I told you guys about.
You are working with them?!
Hot band! You deserve it!

wow! it just didn't sound like them to me strange. But if you say so! It's a very good band and great fun to do. We have a residency every 1st Monday of the month at The Vortex in Stoke Newington, north London.

Here's another link with a review, which I did not read but mentions the LJO:

They're cool tracks to work to.

Here's my latest Palmieri:

They sound like nothing but they are murder to syncopate right, IMHO.

I'm working on another one that's killer.
