Complete Recording
One of the most respected figures in big band jazz for two decades, LA-based saxophonist/composer/arranger Kim Richmond takes it up a notch with his latest recording "Refractions." Featuring his Concert Jazz Orchestra, Richmond blends a collection of original compositions and arrangements of classics into a lush, cinematic soundscape. "I am seeking a broader emotional palette for Jazz," states Richmond, "I feel that all too often Jazz, especially for large ensemble, expresses only a small range of emotions. My writing for this 24-piece jazz orchestra combines elements of both large ensemble jazz with free-swinging improvisation and symphonic colors and textures. This is truly an orchestra rather than simply a jazz band."
