sans batterie, which is French for "without drums" is an album of tunes written by yours truly, Scott Oakley, played acoustically by a topnotch group of LA's best. The ensemble of piano, upright bass, tenor sax, and trumpet (and valve trombone, flugelhorn, and mutes) plays songs with poignant melodies, sophisticated harmonies, and strident rhythms that will move you to tears, inspire you to joyous refrain, and glorious serenity. You will find that this CD, labeled as jazz, will be suitable and loved by people who never thought they liked jazz before. A Masterpiece.
Scott Oakley, Piano, Composer/Arranger; Scott Gilman, Saxophone; Mitch Manker, Trumpet; Paul Morin, Bass
