Two Takes Vol. 2: Big Band

by Jared Schonig

supported by

Russell Scarbrough In a single stroke, Jared has established one of the great contemporary big bands. All the NYC A-listers are present (both playing and arranging), but the sound is fresh, and it's easy to listen to this record over and over. Plus: any chance to hear Jared drive a big band is worth the price of admission. Favorite track: Tig Mack.

about

Jazz soars with rhythmic, harmonic and melodic luminosity in a variety of settings—solo, duo, trio, quartet, quintet and so on— but there’s nothing like being swept into the frothy tides of an instrumental community in which upwards of 18 members assemble to embrace and exchange notes.

Today’s jazz scene ﬂourishes with upstart big bands propelling the tradition forward. For his Two Takes Vol. 2: Big Band album, Jared taps into the deep well of renowned New York- and Miami-based arrangers and composers—Alan Ferber, Jim McNeely, Mike Holober, Miho Hazama, Darcy James Argue, Laurence Hobgood, Brian Krock and John Daversa explore where they could take his compositions. (He also showcased these tunes with his smaller band on Two Takes Vol. 1: Quintet.)
