FETTE HUPE - Modern Tradition (Sealed) (CD)

The big band Fette Hupe (Greasy or Energetic Horn), under its two band leaders Timo Warnecke and J?rn Marcussen-Wulff, is releasing its new album Modern Tradition with the BERTHOLD records label in February 2020. Marcussen-Wulff, also conductor, trombonist, composer and arranger of many of its songs, describes the music, recorded live for this album, as uncompromising, creative and innovative. "We had the idea of using a traditional set up, similar to the Duke Ellington recordings in the 1960s," he explains. "We used an analogue mixer and special microphones to capture an older sound. But the music is modern, with a traditional flavour, hence the album title Modern Tradition."
