About the album

Pianist Ben Markley, along with special guest trumpeter Terell Stafford, celebrates one of the more influential and beloved figures in jazz through this unique project, showcasing many of the late pianist and composer Cedar Walton’s most revered tunes through new arrangements for big band. Performing iconic compositions such as "Hindsight," "Bolivia," and "Holy Land," Markley brings together fellow faculty members from the University of Wyoming and top-flight Denver-area musicians to produce an honest and swinging recording that honors Cedar Walton while presenting his music in a bright new light. “...to hear a big band's interpretation of Cedar's music has to be the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life!...I know Cedar is beaming at the results!!” - Martha Walton.
Zusammen mit anderen Mitgliedern der Fakultät der University of Wyoming und erstklassigen Musikern aus Denver präsentiert Pianist Ben Markley ein Album, das Cedar Waltons Musik in einem hellen neuen Licht erscheinen lässt.
Markley feiert mit diesem einzigartigen Projekt zusammen mit Special Guest und Trompeter Terell Stafford einen der einflussreichsten und beliebtesten Künstler des Jazz durch neue Arrangements für Big Band.
