| The Bob McChesney Big Band Album..in the making....  Keeping with the tradition of this timeless musical genre, renowned trombonist Bob McChesney aims to record a "magnum opus" of newly arranged music for big band, with an exciting ensemble of today's top players and soloists. The Bob McChesney Big Band Album is currently slated for production in Bob's hometown of Los Angeles, and features a team of L.A.'s best musicians, composers, arrangers, engineers and special guest soloists.Bob's reputation as a trombonist speaks for itself, and his body of work as a recording artist, arranger, producer, music educator and author, is world-renowned. The Bob McChesney Big Band Album will share the musical tradition of the big band era with the next generation of musicians, students and fans. With his unique playing style, Bob's dream is to connect the music of the past with present and future students and lovers of big bands and great jazz. Because they are expensive to create, new big band recordings are becoming increasingly scarce. In the current environment, big band recordings are rarely funded by record companies. Because of the unfortunate scarcity of funding sources, this project needs your financial support. Your provisions will help to create what we believe will be a timeless recording and an artistic showpiece of the highest musical quality, possessing the same excellence and musical joy that all projects bearing the name of Bob McChesney possess. We hope you consider contributing to Bob's vision and thank you in advance for sharing your resources to help make this important musical project a reality.

Jazz Scene " . . . probably the best jazz trombone playing I've heard to date." —Eddie Daniels "Bob McChesney is a virtuoso and has the gift to bring us the joy of music at the highest level." —Lalo Schifrin "Bob McChesney is a master of the trombone!" —Arturo Sandoval Bob McChesney was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and began playing the trombone in the fourth grade as part of his public school music program. He has since evolved into a world-renowned trombone soloist and an authority on trombone pedagogy. Bob McChesney's trademark as a trombonist is the beauty of his sound, a lightning-fast technique, and his emotional connection to the music. With complete mastery of the instrument and extensive knowledge of jazz harmony, McChesney has distinguished himself as one of the pre-eminent soloists in the world, not only in the realm of jazz and improvisation, but as an interpreter of the most difficult and highly technical Classical repertoire, as well. write your comments about the article :: © 2015 Jazz News :: home page |
