SUMMARY:The Upper Austrian Jazz Orchestra plays the music of Ed Puddick "Crazy Days"
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 pm\, Music 8:30 pm\n \nLine-up:\nEdd Puddick - Compositions\, Arrangements\, Conductor\n\nAli Gaggl -  Voice\n\nAndreas Pranzl\, Simon Plötzeneder\, Joschi Öttl and Manfred Weinberger - Trumpets\n\nAndreas See\, Robert Müllner\, Christian Maurer\, Andreas Lachberger and Jürgen Haide - Saxophones\n\nDominik Stöger\, Robert Bachner\, Peter Nickel and Hermann Mayr - Trombones\n\nHelmar Hill - Piano\n\nPrimus Sitter - Guitar\n\nChristian Wendt - Bass\n\nEwald Zach - Drums\n\n \nAbout\nEd Puddick became aware of the UAJO through his mentor and friend Michael Gibbs. He has been in contact with us for years and has already contributed to some arrangements for the annual BB workshop in Bad Goisern. Ed approached us in the spring of 2020 with the question of whether we would have the desire and capacity to record his recent music live in a studio setting. He was primarily interested in videos for documentation\, and together we then produced the present CD.\n\nThe "Brexit Suite"\, the central work of the recording session\, was composed in consideration of the events of the last 5 years\, when the UK decided to leave the EU. Ed's journey from England to Upper Austria and back at the beginning of January 2021 was adventurous due to the completed Brexit and changing Covid situations\, but in the end everything worked out and Ed\, Reinhard Brunner (sound and coproducer)\, Bernhard See (video) and the orchestra are happy to have opened a new chapter of good big band music.\n\n \n\nEd Puddick–Composer\, Arranger\, Conductor\n\nEd Puddick is an award winning arranger\, composer and educator. His reputation was established through his writing for the Ed Puddick Big Band\, a 14-piece ensemble for which he has written a huge number of works\, including the celebrated projects ‘Guys & Dolls’ (Diving Duck Recordings\, 2010)\, ‘Jubilee Suite’ (2012) & ‘Only Thelonious’ (2017). In 2018\, Ed won the Arranging Prize in the International Composition Competition at the Barga International Jazz Festival\, where his winning arrangement of Dizzy Gillespie’s “Con Alma” was performed by US trumpeter Jeremy Pelt.\n\nEd has written for many other groups\, including the Bradfield College Big Band (featuring Alec Dankworth in 2015)\, the London Jazz Orchestra\, Marlborough College Big Band and Chamber Orchestra\, NYJO\, National Youth Jazz Wales\, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Jazz Orchestra and the Sydney Jazz Orchestra in Australia. Ed has enjoyed a long-term partnership with the Wigan Youth Jazz Orchestra\, for whom he has written works featuring international soloists James Morrison (“Saratoga Springs” 2011) and Eric Marienthal (“The Twisted Wheel” 2016). Ed has been commissioned to write music for large-scale projects including ‘Secret Music’ (Music For Youth\, 2014)\, ‘Near Horizons’ (Joe Allard Commission\, 2015)\, ‘Another Kind Of Imagination’ (Greater Manchester Music Hub\, 2016)\, ‘Beyond Wigan Pier’ (Alan Gregory\, 2018)\, ‘One Universal Shout’(Bridgewater Hall\, 2019)\, ‘Music Hall Memories’ (Greater Manchester Music Hub\, 2019)\, ‘Wild Man Dance’ (Charles Lloyd/Mike Gibbs\, 2019) and ‘Soultime Suite’ (Paul Dunmall\, 2019).\n\nEd teaches jazz composition and arranging at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire where he was a student between 2000-2004\, studying trombone with Jeremy Price and composition with Mike Gibbs and Hans Koller. Ed currently sits on the IVORS Academy Jazz Committee and is dedicated to improving the situation for jazz composers across the UK.\n\n \n\nUpper Austrian Jazz Orchestra - Upper Austrians institution in orchestral jazz\n\nIn the 28th year of its existence and after 13 CD recordings with various programs of own music ("La lampe philosophique"\, "Deference to Anton Bruckner"\, "Thomas Bernhard groovt " Wein \, Weib und Gesang"\, "Song-Song"\,"Ohne Musik wäre das Leben ein Irrtum"\, "In the spirit of Hans Koller"\, "Brazilian World Music Project") but also music by and with guests like Kenny Wheeler\, Jack Walrath\, Slide Hampton\, Johnny Griffin\, Michael Gibbs\, Toshiko Akiyoshi\, Mike Stern\, Maria Joao\, Richard Bona\, Mike Mainieri\, Richard Galliano and Jane Monheit\, the UAJO has become an institution in the field of creative jazz music\, not only in Upper Austria. A special peculiarity in the design of new programs is the concept of presenting the musicians of the orchestra also as composers and arrangers. This results in programs that on the one hand benefit from the diversity of musical approaches of several composers/arrangers\, but on the other hand are characterized by the common experience of 28 years of continuity.
