Album Description

Jazzhead is proud to announce the new recording by notable NYC sax-man George Garzone with The Monash Sessions. Strong ties have been forged with Garzone through his numerous tours and workshops with Monash music students and in 2011 Monash University and Garzone established a residency and mentorship for the University’s jazz ensembles. Rehearsing Garzone’s compositions and big band arrangements by Garzone’s long time Berklee College of Music faculty colleague and Buddy Rich alumni Greg Hopkins offered invaluable insights into the creative processes of one of the great voices of modern jazz. This evolved and became The Sessions, culminating in a performance at Bennetts Lane Jazz Club and the recording at Melbourne’s Sing Sing studios. Alongside George Garzone, the recording also features compositions by Horace Silver, Johnny Green and Greg Hopkins. This recording illustrates Garzone is at the forefront of improvised music, a true ambassador of the spirit of jazz. With a wealth of experience and one who takes tradition and pushes its boundaries, Garzone creates new and exciting stories. A Jazz giant indeed.
