Description

As recorded by Mats Holmquist Big Bad Band (Caprice Records 2003).
Windows is one of Chick's greatest classics from the 60's. This arrangements features trumpet 5 and piano with solos and melody presentation for both. Holmquist creates a wavy, smooth character in tenors and flugelhorns and switches from 3/4 to 4/4 from time to time. Big exciting tutti in the middle and unusual, complex voicings at the close of each theme presentation. A perfect opener at, f.ex. a "Tribute to Chick Corea" concert.

"However it is Holmquist's inventive arrangements, which are a logical extension of Corea's original performances, that are the real stars. Recommended.”

****1/2 Scott Yanow, Allmusic.com
