From the beginning of 2010 to the end of 2013, Marshall Gilkes was a permanent member of the trombone section of the WDR Big Band. These were formative and groundbreaking years for the American musician, because here he not only had the opportunity to develop further as a soloist, but also began to arrange pieces for big band. Success was not long in coming, as the first CD production "Cologne" with the WDR Big Band and Gilkes as guest arranger, band leader and soloist was nominated for two GRAMMYS in 2015. Now Marshall Gilkes is returning to his "old friends" and former colleagues with new material. The focus of this new program is the varied nine-movement suite "Cyclic Journey", which Gilkes sees as the result of his intensive musical self-reflection: "That's how I came up with the idea of ​​writing a soundtrack to my daily external and internal existence."
