The Documentary (DVD Pal & Ntsc)

The New Talent Jazz Orchestra


Featuring: Orch. Conducted by Pablo Ablanedo, Frank Carlberg, Magali Souriau, Jason Lindner, Avi Lebovich, Andrew Rathbun, Taylor Haskins and Guillermo Klein. With more than 40 musicians of the label.

The CD:
The music included in this double deluxe digipack CD was recorded on September 29-30 and October 1-2, 2003, at Systems Two Recording Studios in Brooklyn, New York.

This production brought together many of the outstanding musicians that record for Fresh Sound "New Talent" and aims to reflect the openness of the label towards diverse tendencies that contemporary jazz presents.

The concept was that there would be 8 different composers directing and writing the music for the orchestra and each one would contribute an original piece and an arrangement, which the orchestra would them interpret under their direction and with complete creative freedom.

The first CD is made up entirely of originals and the second one of arrangements of theme composed by personalities so different as Aphex Twin, Gustavo Leguizamón, Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, George Gershwin or Dwayne Burno.
