Description:

â? "...zeitgenÃ¶ssisch im besten Sinne des Wortes, harmonisch anspruchsvoll und doch immer zugÃ¤nglich dank eines unbeirrbaren Verlassens auf altehrwÃ¼rdige Melodien und Rhythmen...dies ist Big-Band-Jazz, der den Puls beschleunigt, hart swingt und die Tradition aufwertet." - Jack Bowers, All About Jazz- â? Die Dave Slonaker Big Band, die 2013 fÃ¼r den GrammyÂ® als bestes groÃ?es Jazz-Ensemble nominiert wurde, kehrt mit einer umwerfenden Sammlung neuer Musik zurÃ¼ck, die die Tradition feiert, aber auch die MÃ¶glichkeiten des Big-Band-Jazz auslotet. Mit einer Starbesetzung von Jazz- und Studiolegenden der WestkÃ¼ste, darunter Bob Sheppard, Larry Koonse, Peter Erskine, Wayne Bergeron und viele mehr, vereint Convergency das Leben, die Geschichten und die auÃ?ergewÃ¶hnlichen Talente dieser groÃ?artigen Musiker mit der Musik des erfahrenen Komponisten/Arrangeurs Dave Slonaker aus Los Angeles zu einer Aufnahme, die mit Sicherheit ein weiterer Meilenstein fÃ¼r die Fans der groÃ?en Jazz-Ensemble-Tradition sein wird. -

Contemporary in the best sense of the word, harmonically sophisticated yet always accessible thanks to an unswerving reliance on time-honored melodies and rhythms... this is big-band jazz that quickens the pulse, swings hard and enhances the tradition. - All About Jazz. The Dave Slonaker Big Band, coming off it's 2013 Grammy nomination for Best Large Jazz Ensemble, returns with a dazzling collection of new music celebrating the tradition, but also pushing the possibilities of big band jazz. Featuring an all-star cast of West Coast jazz and studio legends, including Bob Sheppard, Larry Koonse, Peter Erskine, Wayne Bergeron, and so many more, Convergency brings together the lives, stories and extraordinary talents of these great musicians, with the music of veteran Los Angeles composer/arranger Dave Slonaker, to create what will certainly be another touchstone recording for fans of the large jazz ensemble tradition.

Recorded October 20-21, 2021.
