They ': ,: include the traditional ôDown By the River to Pray,ö Joni :, : MitchellÆs ôBlue,ö the Bee GeesÆ ôHow Deep Is Your Love,ö James : :' TaylorÆs ôFire and Rain,ö Peter GabrielÆs ôDonÆt Give Up,ö ': ,: Newley & BricusseÆs ôPure Imagination,ö the sole Hollenbeck :, : original ôKindness,ö and finally a radical rhythmic : :' deconstruction of the Beach BoysÆ ôGod Only Knowsö (renamed ': ,: ôKnows Only Godö). :, : : :' Hollenbeck reunites with longtime collaborators ?Kate McGarry? ': ,: and ?Theo Bleckmann?, whose sonorous, expressive voices breathe :, : life into every arrangement. Pianist and organist ?Gary : :' Versace?, like Bleckmann a mainstay of HollenbeckÆs Large ': ,: Ensemble and Refuge Trio, gets deep inside the harmonic :, : structures, contemplative asides and unexpected twists that make : :' up the set. Frankfurt Radio Big Band personnel come through ': ,: with radiant solos of their own, including tenor saxophonist :, : Steffen Webber, clarinetist Oliver Leicht, trombonist Christian : :' Jaksj÷, bassist Hans Glawischnig, guitarist Martin Scales and ': ,: more. :, : : :' ôThis project brought up questions I asked myself numerous ': ,: times,ö writes Hollenbeck in the liner notes. ôWhat is :, : arranging? Why arrange? Why arrange popular songs? Is it still a : :' æpopÆ song if it was not æpopularÆ?ö Hollenbeck also mentions ': ,: his desire to ôhighlight facets of these songs that were not :, : obvious to the listener in the original, perhaps revealing : :' hidden and exciting new layers. I sought to emphasize material ': ,: that is present in the original, but not featured or in the :, : foreground. I also tried to rewind what I perceived may have : :' been the original compositional process to then figure out what ': ,: I would do from that same point of departure.ö :, : : :' Hollenbeck will bring the same creativity, curiosity, ': ,: methodical process and raw inspiration to his undertakings with :, : Flexatonic Arts, Inc., the latest bold new step in an already : :' storied musical career.
