Live From the Painted Bride,“Marooned”/“Aislado” is performed by a 19 piece big band ensemble. The CD is a live performance recorded during the Papo Vázquez performance at the Painted Bride on March 17, 2007. Papo Vázquez fuses the African and Puerto Rican styles of Bomba and Plena with traditional big band and Latin jazz. This sound is created by one of the finest Puerto Rican musicians of this era, and by his personnel, who know the process of creating, blending, and fusing music into a rich texture that grabs the listener with its pulsating rhythms. Admiral Papo Vázquez and his Mighty Pirate Orchestra create music that emanates spirit, unity, and excellence through strong ensemble and solo performances.
The 2005 John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble release on OmniTone was nominated for the forty-eighth annual Grammy Awards (Large Jazz Ensemble category).
This debut recording from Hollenbeck’s Large Ensemble exemplifies Hollenbeck’s ability to harness the sonic range and energy of a huge group of exceptionally talented musicians while producing a deeply personal sound that transcends genre.
