Info for Bill Laurance & The Untold Orchestra Live at EFG London Jazz Festival 2021 (Live)
Recorded at EFG London Jazz Festival in November 2021, genre-defying composer Bill Laurance returns with a sonically expansive album alongside the Untold Orchestra, performing music from across his career, reimagined and recontextualised for an ensemble as vast as this. A natural evolution of their collaborations to this point, this album acts as a climactic point of the first chapter of an evolving musical relationship. Laurance explains, “Performing with the Untold Orchestra is a special experience. Their unique chemistry and collective vision in pushing boundaries always lifts the music to new heights. Ultimately anything is possible with this ensemble!".
"An epic sympatico collaboration that soars with emotional power – Laurance and the Untold Orchestra are a perfect match." (Mike Flynn, Editor, Jazzwise)
"An incredible and moving collection from one of my favourite musical storytellers." (Tony Minvielle, JazzFM)
