Mark Crawford's sophisticated and thoughtful arrangements elevated my original compositions to new heights; the incredibly talented 12-piece string orchestra breathed life into those ideas; and Terry Clarke, Neil Swainson and Bernie Senensky formed an incomparable rhythm section, lending a level of heavy-hitting artistry than can only come from a prolific career forged in the tradition of jazz music. The compositions represent almost cinematic snapshots of people, places and experiences that influenced my life and music, from the birth of my daughter, celebrated in the up-tempo triadic Blues for Josie Rose to the western landscape of the Cariboo where I grew up, captured in the haunting strings of The Ballad of Buffalo Bill. Hearing 16 musicians performing this music together, live off the floor, was a dream come true. Recorded at a time when the arts need more than ever to be nurtured and recognized as an important part of our world, to me this album represents the excitement of creativity and the power of collaboration\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 The Ballad of Buffalo Bill \u003cbr\u003e1.2 For You \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Blues for Josie Rose \u003cbr\u003e1.4 MacBeth \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Tango for Astor \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Somewhere Over the Rainbow \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Eddie \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Shorter Mornings \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Arrival \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Walk on Up the Road\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ryan Oliver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39603018137671,"sku":"42354314","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4044018-2791375.jpg?v=1711753792","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/ryan-oliver-with-strings","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
