This is the Big Band Masada project you've been waiting for. Led by composers Sam Eastmond and Nikki Franklin, The SPIKE Orchestra is a large ensemble that draws on a wide range of influences including Duke Ellington, Frank Zappa, Carl Stalling, Zorn and more. Melding jazz, rock, klezmer, cartoon and the avant-garde into a compelling and cohesive vision, this new Angels installment is one of the most imaginative and manic masterpieces in the whole series. An outrageous and explosive swinger that will thrill even the most hardened skeptic. Essential.
Featuring Mike Wilkins, Vasilis Xenopoulos, Paul Booth, Stewart Curtis, Erica Clarke, Noel Langley, Karen Straw, George Hogg, Ben Greenslade-Stanton, Ashley Slater, Mike Guy, Sam Eastmond, Dave Powell, Sam Leak, Moss Freed, Chris Nickolls, Otto Willberg, and Nikki Franklin.
