About the album

Grammy-nominated composer, arranger, drummer and band leader Tim Davies formed his first big band in 1998 in Melbourne, Australia. Its run was cut short by Tim’s move to Los Angeles, but since 2000, Davies has released two recordings with his topflight LA band of seasoned session and touring players. For The Expensive Train Set, Davies comes fullcircle as he resurrects the Melbourne group and features both bands on four tunes each, with one new composition written for the two bands performing together. Davies creates arrangements grounded in the traditional, while adding elements from many influences to create a sound that is wideranging and cinematic a sure consequence of his awardwinning career as a major orchestrator for film, TV and events.

Der Grammy-nominierte Komponist, Arrangeur, Schlagzeuger und Band-Leader Tim Davies schafft Arrangements, die in traditionellen Elementen begründet sind, während er Bestandteile aus vielen Einflüssen hinzufügt, um einen vollen, orchestralen Klang zu schaffen.

... Während ich meine letzten beiden Alben in Los Angeles aufgenommen habe, habe ich 1998 zuletzt mit meiner Melbourne-Band aufgezeichnet. Ich hatte die verrückte Idee, dieses neue Album mit beiden Bands aufzunehmen und eine neue Arbeit zu schreiben, die beide gleichzeitig vorstellt. So werden die beiden Bands jeweils auf vier Tracks vorgestellt und zusammen auf einem... Tim Davies

Tim Davies Big Band

Ever since he was given a cassette of Australia's Daly Wilson Big Band at age 12, Tim Davies had the dream to write for and play drums in his own big band. That goal was realized in 1998 when he formed his first big band in Melbourne, Australia. Although it only had a short run before Davies moved to the States, the band made quite an impact. Since 2000 Davies has led a big band in Los Angeles featuring top session and touring players. The band's first record, Epic, was released in 2003 and a follow-up, Dialmentia, released on Origin in 2009 for which Davies garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Composition for 'Counting to Infinity'. The newest album, The Expensive Train Set, will be released by Origin Records in September 2016. Grounded in the traditional, his music adds elements of rock, metal and hip hop, creating a blend that is truly unique. When not writing for or leading the band, Davies has found his niche working as a composer, arranger, orchestrator, and conductor in Hollywood. More information is www.timusic.net
