Jazz Big Band, Traditional and Contemporary
14 MP3 Songs
JAZZ: Big Band, BLUES: Funky Blues
Details:
Les Hooper is one of the more versatile composer/pianists in Los Angeles and has done Albums, Movies, TV, live orchestral commisions, tons of commercials and he has more than 80 pieces published for big band scattered over 10 different publishers. His albums have received 7 Grammy nominations and he has performed on the Grammy Show in New York for his first album, Look What They've Done which received 3 nominations on its own. His roots are in Rhythm & Blues, Jazz and Classical and often the three are fused in a Gumbo of sorts. Raised in Louisiana, the blues/jazz roots were unavoidable. 12 years in Chicago honed his craft and spawned 3 albums of his own along with numerous arranger credits for other artists as well as an Emmy Award.
In L.A. he has had 2 orchestral commissions for The New American Orchestra, made up of the best studio players in town in one glorious orchestra, and both compositions were hybrid pieces tapping into many genres. Three more big band albums and 2 small band albums added more Grammy nominations to his credit along with a host of arranging credits on other albums.
"Out of the Woods" features some of the best musicians in LA. Many of these players were on the first LA albums, "Raisin the Roof" and "Anything Goes". The music is hot, fun, tight and exciting. The attempt is to create a more contemporary sounding band rather than the older standard sound of a big band. He contends that there are already many very talented musicians doing that, so why not add something a little different.
Another album should be released before the end of the year.
Les' other albums are available on his web site www.leshooper.com
