The idea for this project started out of my love for the woodwind section in the orchestra-especially in some o fmy favorite orchestral pieces. As I did more research on woodwind quintets. I realized that there was not as vast a repertorie as say for string quartet. Therefore, there was a lot of trial and error involved, but once everything worked out, the richness and sonority of this ensemble in unmatched by any other ensemble of its size.
The compositions on this record for the most part feature my jazz quartet plus a modified woodwind quintet. By modified, I mean that there is a bass clarinet instead of French horn. I felt that sonically the bass clarinet mixed with the ensemble with more ease thatn the French horn. Also, there were more compositional possibilities with the bassoon and bass clarinet together.
I would like to explain the small orchestral arrangement analysis of Jazz song and woodwinds quintet and the of "For the future" and "Utopia" as a piece written, composed, arranged, sequenced and recorded by me.
I explain whole arrangement process including orchestral arrangement, and mixing so as to maximize possible applications to other pieces, and musical capacity.
