Album number 6 from a big band celebrating 15 years!
Four original compositions + creative arrangements on ”Crazy” (Gnarls Barkley), ”I Can’t Go For That” (Hall & Oates), ”Careless Whisper” (George Michael) and ”The Sound of Music” (Rodgers/Hammerstein). As usual, the music is arranged and produced by band leader Jakob Norgren, who is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
The same band—expanded with guitar, percussion and 4-5 vocalists—is also known under the name Big Band Splash, when playing a more soul/R&B-oriented repertoire. All albums available on digital platforms under artist name “Jakob Norgren”.
