The album includes 14 arrangements of Oscar-winning songs for the movies, that span a century of the art of moving image (from 1930s to today) and will take you on a carnival of sounds, seamlessly moving from sophisticated sultry retrospection to a rowdy joyous party (or as our friends at Lucid Culture put it, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s meets Some Like It Hot”!). Album is produced by Grammy-nominated Matt Pierson (Jane Monheit, Joshua Redman, Bria Skonberg, Becca Stevens), arranged by Grammy-winning Gill Goldstein and critically acclaimed Rob Garcia, and mastered by the award winning engineer Mark Wilder (Sony Music / Battery Studios). On this album I am joined by a dream band and special guests, the who’s who of jazz, including Wycliffe Gordon (trombone / vocals), Sullivan Fortner (piano), Pasquale Grasso (guitar), Chico Pinheiro (guitar), Jon-Erik Kellso (trumpet), Matt Wilson (drums), Rogerio Bocatto (percussion) – as well as John Chin (piano), Elias Bailey (bass), Rob Garcia (drums), Sam Sadigursky (reeds), Michael Davis (trombone), Antoine Silverman (violin), Entcho Todorov (violin), Chris Cardona (viola), Emily Brausa (cello) (and Matt Pierson himself finger-snapping on one of the tracks!). By pre-ordering the album, you will be one of the first one to hear the music (before the album is released to general public) and get access to sneak-picks of music, get to preview music videos before everyone else - and get exclusive updates from inside the studio. I hope you will love the album as much as I loved making it!
