Premier Album du Dedication Big Band 100% RECYCLABLE

<h3 style="text-align:center">​<strong>The Dedication Big Band</strong> just recorded its first, 100% recyclable&nbsp;album, and <strong>we need your support</strong> to create and release it! We have lots of goodies in exchange for your support, ranging from <strong>signed albums</strong>, <strong>posters</strong>, <strong>concerts tickets</strong>, <strong>backstage hangs</strong> and much more... thanks a million-fold for your support!</h3> <ul> <li><strong>We&rsquo;re making an album!</strong></li> </ul> <p>Dear all,</p> <p>I&rsquo;m very excited to be recording in just a few weeks with my group, <strong>The Dedication Big Band</strong>. We are a group of 17 musicians playing my original music, of which each piece is dedicated to a person, event or cause which inspires me. After a residency at Aux Petits Joueurs in Paris which lasted over 2 years, the Dedication Big Band is pushing on by <strong>recording our first album</strong>,which will be entirely recyclable (more on that later!), <strong>at the famous Meudon Studios</strong> outside of Paris.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/571373/1_saxes-1550225264.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <ul> <li><strong>100% recyclable, no plastic involved!</strong></li> </ul> <p>This will be an exceptional project for a jazz album, as<strong> no plastic products will be involved</strong>! We are create a magnificent cardboard cover and mini-booklet, containing texts about the songs and their inspirations, as well as the incredible photography of JM Guerin, the genius photographer who&rsquo;s been following us from the start. The final product will be a beautiful cardboard booklet, containing a link for an HD recording of the album - <strong>all 100% recyclable!</strong></p> <p>Today, the <strong>ecological impact is the crux</strong> of any project which aims to create an objet. 1000 copies of a CD create 38 pounds of Category 7 plastic, which is by far the most difficult to recycle, and take up to 200 years to disintegrate. Very much like the &ldquo;Biophilia&rdquo; label based in NYC, the Dedication Big Band aims to spread its music in an ecologically-minded way. Which is why the album booklet will be entirely recyclable!</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/569179/recycle-1549386519.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <ul> <li><strong>The DBB&rsquo;S new and original music</strong></li> </ul> <p>Though the Dedication Big Band has played many different repertoires in its 2-year residency - from big band classics, to contemporary rock covers, to songs featuring singers - <strong>this album is 100% original material</strong>, all written by its bandleader and composer Philippe Maniez. The final album will comprise of 11 songs, clocking in at 70 minutes, where contrasting moods feature <strong>the outstanding soloists in the band</strong>. The moods of the music vary widely, from profound and meditative to spectacular and whirling ensemble passages!</p> <p>Thus &ldquo;Terraform&rdquo; is a tribute to space exploration and the West-coast entrepreneur <strong>Elon Musk</strong>, who aims to colonise Mars by te end of the century ; &ldquo;Berghain Etude&rdquo; is a nod to the <strong>Berlin nightclub</strong> where literally anything can (and will) happen; and &ldquo;Nasty Woman&rdquo; pays tribute to <strong>the Womens&rsquo; March in Washington</strong>, where the loud unisons of the big band are not unlike a crowd of protesters, determined to stop at nothing.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/569178/Dedication_big_Band_pic-1549386385.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <ul> <li><strong>Meet the band!</strong></li> </ul> <p>The Dedication Big Band are, first and foremost, <strong>a very large group of friends</strong> ; their virtuosity and professionalism are a close second. In this album, you&rsquo;ll be able to hear:</p> <p><strong>Philippe Maniez</strong> - Drums and percussion, compositions and direction</p> <p><strong>Vladimir M&eacute;dail</strong> - Electric Guitar</p> <p><strong>Bastien Brison </strong>- Piano and keyboards</p> <p><strong>Arthur Henn</strong> - upright and electric bass&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Pascal Mabit</strong> - lead alto, soprano saxophone and co-direction</p> <p><strong>Guillaume Guedin</strong> - alto 2</p> <p><strong>Bastien Weeger</strong> - tenor 1</p> <p><strong>Pierre-Marie Lapprand </strong>- tenor 2 and soprano</p> <p><strong>Balthazar Naturel </strong>- barytone</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Robinson Khoury</strong> - trombone 1</p> <p><strong>Micha&euml;l Ballue</strong> - trombone 2</p> <p><strong>Jules Boittin</strong> - trombone 3</p> <p><strong>Luca Spiler</strong> - basse trombone</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Alexis Bourguignon</strong> - lead trumpet</p> <p><strong>L&eacute;o Jeannet</strong> - 2nd trumpet</p> <p><strong>Jules Jassef</strong> - 3rd trumpet</p> <p><strong>No&eacute; Codjia</strong>&nbsp; - 4th trumpet</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We can&rsquo;t wait for this record to be made and come to light, and <strong>we need your help do make it happen</strong>! If you are still reading, chances are you enjoy great endeavours and large ensemble music, so tell your friends and stay posted here for more news on the record!</p> <p>Thank you for your support and see you soon!</p> <p>Philippe Maniez and the Dedication Big Band</p> <p>Photo credits: JM Guerin, Ir&egrave;ne Martin</p>
