This album features a symphonic Jazz orchestra of over 70 of New York City’s finest musicians, including some incredible featured special guests such as: Grace Kelly, Adam Neely, Benny Benack III, Leo P., Zac Zinger, Sam Dillon, Steven Feifke, Andrew Gould, Tiffany Mann, and the vocal sextet Accent! Arranged and produced by the Tony nominated Charlie Rosen, mixed by the Grammy award winning engineer John Kilgore, and mastered by the veteran Alan Silverman who has worked on more than 80 Grammy nominated or winning albums. In this 3rd full release, The 8-Bit Big Band pushes the boundaries of what it means to be a “Big Band” in 2020. They draw inspiration from musical genres all over the scope of music including, Jazz and Swing, from traditional to contemporary, Metal, Funk, Rock, World Music, Jazz Fusion, Cinematic Orchestral, Classical, and electronic production elements and sounds not typically found in the traditional jazz ensemble. The band’s vocabulary ranges from the classic big band writing styles of the past, through the timeline of music’s evolution, and lands in this contemporary and eclectic no holds barred musical listening experience containing influences across genre and time."
