Description:

Der in Los Angeles lebende Komponist, Arrangeur und Keyboarder Geoff Stradling hat den grÃ¶Ã?ten Teil seiner jahrzehntelangen Karriere damit verbracht, den Erfolg von Filmen, Fernsehsendungen und Alben anderer zu unterstÃ¼tzen, an denen er mitgewirkt hat, darunter viele Jahre als Musikdirektor der Golden Globe Awards. Seine StradBand diente ihm stets als Werkstatt fÃ¼r seine Konzepte und als Gemeinschaftsprojekt fÃ¼r viele seiner Kollegen. Bei Nimble Digits steht die Band im Mittelpunkt und zeigt die groÃ?e Bandbreite des modernen Jazzorchesters auf - von den von Gil Evans begrÃ¼ndeten Stilen Ã¼ber Post-Miles-Fusion bis hin zu afro-kubanischen und afro-brasilianischen EinflÃ¼ssen. Er fÃ¼hrt sein Ensemble so, wie es die besten Bandleader schon immer getan haben, indem er die StÃ¤rken der einzelnen Musiker ausspielt und gleichzeitig eine starke und persÃ¶nliche harmonische, kontrapunktische und texturale Thematik beibehÃ¤lt. Der Pool an musikalischen Talenten in L.A. ist an jedem Stuhl dutzendfach vorhanden, und viele der hellsten Sterne sind hier vertreten, mit einunddreiÃ?ig Musikern, die Stradlings Musik zum Leben erwecken. -
