Classic 70s Rock Tunes Arranged for Big Band

If you are a lover of classic 70s rock bands, and a lover of big band jazz, you’re going to love what Ryan Fraley and the guys down in Indianapolis have been working on.  Ryan emailed me a few months ago and leaked news of a project he was working on with some sample mp3s of the charts.  I wanted to let you guys know then, but he wanted to keep it under wraps until now. 

Ryan has taken some classic rock tunes and arranged them for big band – and the results are amazing!   I think they came out better than the originals, but I’m biased to the jazz side somewhat.  My favorite band from the 70’s was Yes. 
Rick Wakeman was my non-jazz hero as well. I thought it was cool that a guy could be such a virtuoso on the piano and be a long haired beer drinking rock star.  Anyway, take a listen to some cuts from this interesting big band record.  Get on the mailing list and buy this thing when its released.  CLICK HERE to listen
