Monte Carlo Jazz Ensemble |
The MCJE recreates the sounds and
rhythms of the golden age of American
popular music. Its repertoire includes hot dance tunes, dreamy romantic
ballads, "peppy period pops", blues, stomps, and ragtime. The
arrangements are crafted specifically for this ensemble to make the
whole
greater than the sum of its parts, and the solo skills of the musicians
energize the performances in a way that recalls Fletcher Henderson, Tiny
Parham, McKinney's Cotton Pickers, Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers,
and other exciting bands of the nineteen twenties, thirties and forties. Monte Carlo 2007
