After a year-long effort of developing new arrangements, the Ghost Train
Orchestra will be heading back into the studio in April to record their
follow-up to last year's acclaimed Hothouse Stomp. The album
will move ahead 10 years from the first album, featuring all new
arrangements of strange and adventurous chamber jazz from the late
1930s, featuring the full orchestra plus guitarist Avi Bortnick, bassist
Michael Bates, and a small choir. Grammy award winning producer Danny
Blume will once again be collaborating with Brian Carpenter on the
album.
In preparation for the recording, GTO will be performing this
material on three special shows in NYC leading up to the recording:
Saturday February 18th at Barbes, Saturday March 10th at Shanghai
Mermaid, and Saturday March 31st at Jalopy in Brooklyn. See the EVENTS
page for more details. If you're in the NY area during that time, don't
miss it!
