John Beasley - Returning To Forever (2024)

Fans of the Return to Forever projects will love this recently released recording as both the score and the musicianship are as superb as we’d expect from top American arranger John Beasley and the peerless Frankfurt Radio Big Band.

Also known as the hr-Bigband, what a Big Band they are! The gorgeous section playing, a pleasure in itself, once again sets the scene here for the wonderfully well-crafted solos. The world-class reputation of the German and other European Radio Big Bands has been established over a number of years and is a huge credit to the Musical Directors, Arts Administrators and funding bodies who ensure that jazz music for the larger ensemble continues to evolve and flourish as an art form. Without them, it’s hard to see where the opportunities for specially commissioned, often niche projects, such as this one, would reside. Wynton’s Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is another of course but even top big bands struggle to be financially sustainable without the support of public money.
