I’m delighted to announce that the debut EP from the Beats & Pieces Big Band is now available to purchase and/or download via the Efpi Records website! You can buy a physical CD as one of a limited edition run of 100 unique handmade packages, or download the EP as high quality MP3s under the ‘honesty box’ model where you choose how much to pay (free if you feel like…). It contains 5 tracks weighing in at just over half an hour’s worth of music, and we’re really proud of it. Tracklisting is as follows:
1. bake
2. yafw (part iii)
3. toan
4. djimi
5. broken
The band features the cream of Manchester’s young improvising talent, many of whom have now moved away to pastures new and are making a mark on jazz scenes in major cities across the continent. The band is as follows:
Ben Cottrell : musical director
Sam Andreae, Kenji Fenton, Sam Healey, Jo McCallum : reeds
Tim Cox, Simon Lodge, Owain Roberts, Paul Strachan : trombones
Owen Bryce, Chris Snead, Graham South, Nick Walters : trumpets
Anton Hunter : guitar
Patrick Hurley : piano, Rhodes
Nick Blacka : bass
Finlay Panter : drums
Hope you enjoy listening to the EP as much as we enjoyed making it!
