Yellow Is Mellow

Description

Recorded by the Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band on the Grammy-nominated album March Of The Tadpoles, this swing excursion gives three soloists — piano, trumpet (or flugelhorn), tenor sax — ample room to stretch. Punctuated throughout by brief even-8ths motifs, the full-ensemble writing is robust and the dynamics range from quiet to fortissimo. Duration 9:00.
Style: Medium Swing
