Tony Faulkner is a fine musician who has built an impressive body of work over the last 35 years. He is a stylish, and much recorded, Composer and Arranger, a great drummer and one of the UK’s foremost experts on the life and work of Duke Ellington (or “Ellingtonia†as it is often termed). Tony has also enjoyed a long career as a Jazz educator, principally as a tutor at the Leeds College of Music, and has helped many of the finest British Jazz musicians of the last 30 years hone their compositional, performance and ensemble skills.
“Thad Jones and the Ellington Effect†is a seven part suite of pieces based on the chapters of a Masters dissertation completed some years ago and in which I attempted to show how Thad Jones had been influenced by Duke Ellington both in his writing and arranging, and in the way in which he used the jazz Orchestra he co-led with drummer Mel Lewis from 1966 to 1979.
"Duke Ellington" and "Portraits" are both from the new CD. "Three in Two" is from a second CD, "Two Suite plus Two More", due around June/July. "October Sunshine" is a recording from 1973, not currently available on CD.
