From Oz comps to Big Band — 'WindSong' captures them all!
It is unique to combine so many eclectic styles featuring bass
trombone on the one disc. "It really does show off the instrument"
said trombonist Eric Klay.
The eclecticism found in 'WindSong' is realised in pieces like
'Tropical Funk' featuring the superb improvisational skills of
saxophonist John Barrett juxtaposed against new Australian
compositions by Ross Edwards: 'Maninya IV', 'Sonata for Two
Trombones' by Lawrence Whiffin, and Paul Sarcich's 'Music for Tubes
and Sticks'.
Fantastic arrangements of Ellington's 'Don't Get Around Much
Anymore', Gershwin's 'I've Got a Crush on You', and Richard
Rodgers' 'Nobody's Heart Belongs to Me' complete the line-up.
Eric Klay's list of credentials is impressive: principal bass
trombone with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra since 1977; and
concert, cabaret shows, film scores and recordings for artists
including John Farnham, Debra Byrne, Anthony Warlow, Sammy Davis
Jnr., and Frank Sinatra.
In 1986 Klay commissioned, and gave the first performance of, Paul
Sarcich's 'Concerto for Bass Trombone and Orchestra' to
enthusiastic audiences.
