SKALLELUJAH! IT'S THE BROTHERS IGNATIUS BIG BAND

by THE BROTHERS IGNATIUS BIG BAND

supported by

Dominic H-S This is a joyous mini album of original traditional instrumental ska tunes, given the Big Band treatment. It's as if The Skatalites joined forces with Henri Mancini, with jaw-dropping arrangements throughout and top notch solos-a-plenty. It harks back to a golden age of real musicianship and attention to detail, but is not fussy or pretentious, with the groove central to its core. It is impossible not to enjoy. Favorite track: BIM!.

about

BIG BAND SKA JAZZ FROM THE UK. 17 MUSICIANS IN THE ROOM TOGETHER, NO OVERDUBS, ALL ONE TAKE.

THIS SUPERSEDES THE 'IN THE CAN' EP AND ADDS 4 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED BIG BAND TRACKS, 3 OF WHICH ARE ARRANGEMENTS OF TUNES FROM OUR FIRST SMALL BAND ALBUM AND ONE BRAND NEW TUNE BY OUR ORIGINAL TROMBONIST, AND LONDONER IN MISSISSIPPI, BROTHER BOB DOWELL.

THESE NEW TUNES WERE THOUGHT TO BE LOST BUT WERE EVENTUALLY FOUND IN AN ANCIENT SCROLL (MORE OF AN OLD USB STICK REALLY), SO WE SEIZED THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE EVERYTHING RECORDED AT THE TIME A NEW MIX AND MASTER. WE'RE COCK-A-HOOP THAT WE FOUND THEM, HENCE THE TITLE 'SKALLELUJAH!' SO GLAD THEY'RE FINALLY ALL OUT IN THE WORLD.

WE HOPE AND PRAY YOU ENJOY OUR HUMBLE OFFERING.
