Gareth Lockrane - Big Band: Box of Tricks (2025) [Hi-Res]

Flautist, composer, and arranger Gareth Lockrane has released a new album, "Box Of Tricks," with his big band. The record is a collection of original compositions that combine complex arrangements with free improvisation performed by an all-star lineup of musicians. The album showcases a wide range of influences, from gospel and Latin rhythms to classic swing. The compositions serve as both tributes to Lockrane's idols, such as John Scofield and Joe Henderson, and as personal dedications, for instance, to his father.
