George Lewis & PMJO - Live in Rome '10

Lewis confirms of having a great talent as a composer for large
ensemble with these pieces composed from 1976 to 2009.
Thanks also to a week of rehearsal with the PMJO, the final result is,
in my opinion, remarkable.

Rec. live at "Auditorium - Parco della Musica (Sala G.Petrassi)", Rome,
Italy, on May 27, 2010 (radio broadcast)

wow! this is fantastic! i would love to have been there. this will surely be the live boot of the year.

huge gratitude!

Very nice, thank you! Lewis is an amazing composer as well as trombonist (everyone has his Black Saint albums, right? Homage to Charles Parker is one of the greatest albums ever and available for next to nothing on Amazon MP3). So far this sounds kind of like The Shadowgraph Series meets the Usual Turmoil.
