Welcome to Part 2 of the two-part Special Episode introducing my new release, “MA PETITE FLEUR STRING QUARTET”. This work transforms my jazz ballad into a lush classical string quartet piece. The work has been praised by a host of Classical Music Stars, all of whom are listed below.  In Part 1 yesterday we listened to this new work. In Part 2 today we're going to introduce the incredible musicians who brought this piece to life. David Shenton is the genius arranger behind this work.

He started playing the violin at age 7 and he’s composed hundreds of works from small piano pieces to full-length operas.  Violinist Katie Thomas is a soloist, chamber musician, studio violinist and concert-mistress. She’s played on Grammy winning albums and also recorded with artists like Rosanne Cash, The O’Jays, Jimmy Fallon and the animation series “Dragons”.  Violinist Erica Dicker works in a wide variety of musical settings in both notated and improvised music. She is a member of the electro-acoustic trio Vaster Than Empires. She is also a founding member of the horn-trio Kylwyria. And she’s known for her work with composer and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Braxton. J.J. Johnson has been the violist at Radio City Music Hall. His Broadway musical experience has included On The Town, Cats, Fiddler On The Roof, An American In Paris, Wicked, My Fair Lady, and Sunset Boulevard.

He’s worked with Paul Simon, John Legend, Norah Jones, Foreigner, Josh Groban and Train. And it’s his cello that opens Coldplay's massive hit "Viva La Vida".

Introducing "MA PETITE FLEUR STRING QUARTET" Pt. 1. Robert's Jazz Ballad Transformed Into A Lush Classical String Quartet Piece. Praised By A Host Of Classical Music Stars!

Welcome to Part 1 of a two-part Special Episode introducing my new release, “MA PETITE FLEUR STRING QUARTET”. This work transforms my jazz ballad into a lush classical string quartet piece. I’m pleased to say that the work has been praised by all of the Classical Music Stars listed below.  In Part 1 today we’re going to listen to this new work. In Part 2 tomorrow we're going to introduce the incredible musicians who brought this piece to life. But first, here’s the back story. Last year, following my podcast interview with Michael Abene, Grammy award winning big band arranger, I asked him if he would create a new arrangement of my jazz ballad, “The Gift”. Michael agreed and transformed my song into an extraordinary big band Samba. My band mates and I were the rhythm section on the recording. Spotify link [https://artists.spotify.com/c/artist/04BdGdJszDD8WtAFXc9skW/release/5G5xqU1JOuwXD1le1IofP9]. I then got the idea to take another of my jazz ballads and have it arranged into a classical string quartet piece. I was introduced to David Shenton, a genius arranger, who took my song, “Ma Petite Fleur” - my little flower - and arranged it as a classical string quartet piece inspired by my song. He then brought in four world class musicians to record the work. With this as the back story, please listen now to “MA PETITE FLEUR STRING QUARTET”.
