Alessi CD with big band?

Post by calcbone »

Hi, all-

So, I was just looking at an old version of Greg Black's website on "The Wayback Machine" because I wanted the official specs of the old GB Alessi Series mouthpieces. I was curious because I have had a "3" since 2004, and just picked up a "1.25" from someone on Facebook. Here's where I found it:

I was intrigued to read, In the paragraph on the "new AL series," this quote from Alessi:
You will be able to hear this quality on my upcoming cd release where I front my own big band.
To which CD is he referring here?

Thanks,

I haven’t listened to that one in awhile but I think there’s some big band stuff on it

It does have a few tracks with big band; that’s a possibility. It was also released in 2007, which was during his Greg Black era. I’ll have to see how far back the “AL” cups go on the GB site :lol: (I think the version I linked to was from 2009…)
