While adhering to the traditional 17-piece big band format, Jamie Begian's compositional palette ranges from the serene Suddenly, Summer Falls to the menacingly funky Fuzzy Math. The band features a host of New York Jazz Talent, such as John O'Gallagher on alto sax, trumpeter Matt Schulman, pianist Roberta Piket, bassist Dave Ambrosio and guitarist Bruce Arnold.

 Arbeitermusikverein Stadtkapelle Judenburg
Premiere (1998)
This is a concert band I was asked to record with in the Spring of 1998. I had just finished my eight months, six days and two hours in the Austrian Honor Guard Military Band. The brother of my good friend and fellow military musician Werner Wilding is the conductor (Kapellmeister) of this 47-piece ensemble. We recorded the CD in two exhausting 14-hour days. The music ranged from traditional military music by Johann Strauss to Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story to a musical journey through the Andes mountains.
