The Golden Switchback | limited CD edition

Description

‘The Golden Switchback’ limited CD edition is the 1960s themed album that Stefan always wanted to write. Inspired by classic film music recordings by Lalo Schifrin, Quincy Jones and John Barry.

If my go-to recording studio would be big enough I would have recorded the trusty Funkestra rhythm section A listers with the 9 piece horn section together at the same time. As it were, it was recorded in two sessions – one with the rhythm section and one with the piece horn section (3 trumpets, 3 saxes and 3 trombones). And it’s all worth it – the Masterlink Studio has that Muscle Shoals ‘magic’ that I love so much.

I would love (read L-O-V-E) to perform this music with this 20 piece orchestra on a stage or festival near you!
