Durium Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I was surprised to learn that the Matt Nowlin Orchestra had released its first LP-album entitled The Good News. Nowadays LP-issues seem to be just for a select audience, but the band didn't stagnate; it keeps up with the times as the music can also obtained as a download. Although the way this music was recorded was based on early stereo recordings of the 1950s and '60s, the band doesn't copy the big band music of that period - they do not recreate the idea of what jazz used to sound like or should still sound like. Matt Nowlin did a good job composing and arranging this music; that band just swings. Matt Nowlin Jazz Orchestra Durium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Expat Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I was poking around on Nowlin's site a couple weeks back, listening to music from The Good News and stuff from his side-projects and that of his friends. I thought Good News wasn't bad, will likely revisit it later to see if it connects with me a bit more. I do like that he did vinyl option, too. I think he did that through a Kickstarter project, but I could be misremembering that. I'm glad to see a thread for this. I think people will be interested. Cheers.
