David Defries Jazz + Symphony Orchestra

Have just uploaded content to my youtube channel.

The sound is not that good, but with a good ear, most listeners will have a good idea of what went down.

A Brazilian Chorinho based on the harmonies of John Coltrane's "Giant Steps", A hybrid South African inspired piece, and a composition commissioned to honour the centenary of the birth of Thelonius Monk + 3 arrangements of works by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn.


David, you stole £100000 from Betty. We would like it back.
