About Me

I'm excited to tell you about my new Alf Clausen Jazz Orchestra CD, "Swing Can Really Hang You Up The Most," on Sunny NoDak Records.
It’s an exciting big band jazz recording featuring an all-star group of Hollywood’s finest jazz musicians playing nine of my original compositions and one of my arrangements. It’s a superb package, and I’m very proud of it.
You can check it out on my web site, alfclausen.com, powered by ArtistShare. Just click the Band Website address in blue at the left side of this page. The Participant Offers listed there now include a special free bonus, "Seven Days With The Simpsons."
