about
Three exclusive tracks from the live shows in December 2011.
You Are Not Alone. A new arrangement for the brass mob — of a beautiful tune from the recent Mavis Staples record, composed by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy. The band played this a lot last summer, and this is the only recording available of the Brass Ecstasy version.
Safeway. Dave moved into a residency at the Aaron Copland house on January 7, 2011. On January 8, Rep. Gabby Giffords was shot in Tuscon, Arizona at a public meeting in front of a grocery store. This piece came about in response, and it was also the first thing Dave began to write in his residency. Safeway is an acknowledgement of Copland’s public citizenship. There is also a pronounced use of open fifths that are a tip of the hat to the master’s presence and his generosity.
Great Awakening. You may know this tune from Spirit Moves, the first recording of Brass Ecstasy. It’s about being in church, and getting kicked in the ass by Lester Bowie. Luis Bonilla plays a typically vibrant and powerful solo. As Maude always says, “That was fun.”

This is one of the albums that really sweep me away, no matter which track I'm listening to, and its pleasantly long running time of almost 80 minutes guarantees a maximum sweeping effect. Basically, Matt Ulery is a jazz musician and composer playing the double bass, but the magic he creates on this and other albums is well beyond the confines of the genre. The brilliant varied orchestrations clearly put it into a neo-classical chamber music frame, frequently reminding me of Argentine chamber folk, and the smooth vocals contributed by Grażyna Auguścik and Sarah Marie Young add considerably to the magic, as does the piano work of Rob Clearfield, who's a great composer himself.
