" My new album, Cinematic, is dedicated to my second great passion, movies. My first passion is of course music, so I thought it would be fun to revisit and reinterpret some of the great film scores by some of my favorite film composers. I wanted to select some themes that most people will recognize as well as some lesser know pieces that could be adapted to a jazz quintet. We recorded pieces by Ennio Morricone, John Williams, Michel Legrand, Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin and Bernard Herrmann as well as a couple of pieces composed by myself and my father for his films. The music is performed by my regular group, Andrew McCormack on piano, Quentin Collins on trumpet, Brandon Allen on saxophone and Chris Higginbottom on drums as well as guest vocalists Hugh Coltman and Camille Bertault. Enjoy! "
