Gently  | |
|
Gently is exactly what the title suggests: a gentle approach to the big band instrumentation, using clarinets and flutes in place of saxophones, muted brass, the addition of french horns on two numbers, and writing for the band in a range and style which projects a soothing, warm sound. This is not to say that there isn't intensity in the music. What I've discovered is that when music is played softly it sounds more intense and projects with a greater clarity and energy. The band actually sounds, louder when it plays softer. . . . Bob Mintzer |
