 Latest
in a long line of musical Schullers, George is one of New York's
favorite jazz drummers and composers, as well as being the one-time
driving force behind the popular little big band Orange
Then Blue.
For his first recording as leader, George has assembled
some of the top players from New England's extensive jazz scene and set them loose on a
collection of his own tunes. A stunning, visionary debut from a mature and gifted
musician.
(See also George's recordings
as leader of Orange Then Blue
and Schulldogs.)

quality release, with just enough challenging 'out'
playing to interest the die-hard avant-guardist and
enough mainstream appeal to be accessible to the rest
of the listening public." --Cadence |
