Trumpeter Erik Palmenäs will be giving a graduation concert with his newly formed decette. Classics by Gillespie, Walton and Shorter are promised.

In his thesis, Erik has studied and analyzed the trumpet playing of bebop icon Dizzy Gillespie. To pay tribute to him, Erik has put together a decette and written arrangements inspired by Gillespie's big band. They will perform some of Gillespie's compositions as well as other gems by, among others, Wayne Shorter and Cedar Walton.

Erik Palmenäs's Decette - Graduation Concert

Arrangement for Sextet and Nonet setting inspired by One For All and Duke Pearson's Nonet.

Bands like Duke Pearson's Nonet and more contemporary groups like the New York-based sextet One For All arouse my curiosity about how the arrangers manage to make their music sound so full and big. Through careful analysis, I have tried to understand the harmonic thinking of these arrangers and see patterns in how they write. The result is five of my own arrangements for sextet and nonet settings. Welcome!
