The band members are in heavy demand as individual musicians, and together they form a terrific performing unit that Urwin happily entrusted with his charts. -

Gary Urwin Jazz Orchestra And Friends - Flying Colors / LA's 'in-demand' sound remarkable together creating a POWERFUL performing unit...Saunders, Bergeron, Christlieb, Whitfield, Jacob, Higgins, many more!

LA's finest are on hand for the 'ride'! An extremely enjoyable collaboration that ended in a 'tight', world-class large ensemble project with incredible charts & solos...In addition to playing great solos, the soloists' effervescent personalities gave rise to many enjoyable moments during the recording process. This is a Special Recording and was one of the last sessions of the late, great Carl Saunders.

One of Urwin's favorite Carl-isms was elegantly simple and gave real-world advice on how to be both successful and happy. Urwin still calls it to mind frequently. It goes something like this:

Step1: "Figure out what it is you're best at...
Step 2: Do it!"
