Leveranstid: Skickas vanligtvis inom 2-5 dagar
Mats Holmquist and his Stora Stygga Big Bad Band have recorded an album with the music of Chick Corea.
According to Mats Holmquist, the pianist Chick Corea is one of the greatest jazz musicians from the past 35 years, and his compositions have meant a lot to him. "I grew up with Chick's music and listened quite a bit to him, especially at the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 1980s. The songs I have chosen are mostly taken from the 1970s and represent his 'jazzy' side." Mats Holmquist himself is a composer, arranger, and big band leader. He also lectures quite a bit, which entails many trips around Sweden. Together with Stora Stygga, with which he has recorded several albums, he has appeared with most of the great Swedish vocal artists in concert halls and at festivals across the country. As a composer, he has written music for symphony orchestra and string quartet, as well as orchestrating and conducting for Roxette.
Stora Stygga has many Sweden's biggest jazz musicians, such as the trumpeter Peter Asplund, saxophonist Robert Nordmark, pianist Daniel Karlsson, and drummer Johan Löfcrantz-Ramsey.
