专辑简介

Here we have two very special bands six years removed from each other. On the Road is the culmination of music performed at three prestigious jazz festivals: The 50th Annual Elmhurst College Jazz festival (2017 - tracks 1-8),and the Montreux and North Sea Jazz Festivals (2011 - tracks 9-14). We were able to capture all of the pieces on this recording in the studio. The Elmhurst Jazz Festival music was recorded at the end of the Spring semester 2017, so we were well-polished. In 2011, prior to the European tour, we met in late June for rehearsals, recording sessions and a live “Bon Voyage” Concert. There are also many live videos of both tours posted on YouTube, so please check those out. I highly recommend the videos of the North Sea Band which feature Joe Lovano.
