Tim Davies Big Band - The Expensive Train Set (2016) FLAC

2017 GRAMMY NOMINEE - Best Instrumental Composition: "The Expensive Train Set (An Epic Sarahnade For Double Big Band)"

Grammy-nominated composer, arranger, drummer and band leader Tim Davies formed his first big band in 1998 in Melbourne, Australia. Its run was cut short by Tim's move to Los Angeles, but since 2000, Davies has released two recordings with his top­flight LA band of seasoned session and touring players. For The Expensive Train Set, Davies comes full-circle as he resurrects the Melbourne group and features both bands on four tunes each, with one new composition written for the two bands performing together. Davies creates arrangements grounded in the traditional, while adding elements from many influences to create a sound that is wide-ranging and cinematic, a sure consequence of his career as a major orchestrator and conductor for film, TV and events.
