About the album

Saxophonist Art Bouton kept it simple in 2011 when he founded the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra: perform the best music with the best players. With Denver's powerful base of world-class jazz musicians, it hasn't taken long for the band to establish itself as a cultural institution in the region along with being a vital partner to educational outreach programs. For their debut recording, band members Wil Swindler, Steve Weist, and Paul McKee contribute arrangements of a wide range of classics along with the original opening track "Hopscotch" by Wil Swindler. With top-flight performers including Greg Gisbert, Al Hood, Bijoux Barbosa, and Eric Gunnison, an aggresive programming schedule, and a supportive arts community backing them, this CJRO debut portends an auspicious future.
Saxophonist Art Bouton hatte eine einfache Formel als er das Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra im Jahr 2011 gründete: die beste Musik mit den besten Spielern. Mit dieser eindrucksvollen Plattform von Weltklasse-Jazzmusikern hat es nicht lange gedauert, bis sich die Band als Kulturinstitution in der Region etabliert hat und ein wichtiger Partner für Bildungsprogramme wurde. Für ihre Debüt-Aufnahme tragen die Bandmitglieder Wil Swindler, Steve Weist und Paul McKee Arrangements einer breiten Palette von Klassikern vor.
