O’s Notes: Jared Schonig is a drummer, composer and bandleader who resides in New York where he plays with a who’s-who list of musicians as well as on Broadway. His latest project is Two Takes, two volumes of original music. Volume II is a powerful big band set where Jared unleashes some of the best arrangers to tackle his work with no boundaries! They come out steaming on the swinging “Sabotage” arranged by Alan Ferber. The band is loaded with talent including Quinson Nachoff (t-sax), Troy Roberts (t-sax), Jason Rigby (t-sax), Donny McCaslin (t-sax), Nir Felder (g) and Marshall Gilkes (tb). Among the best are “Sound Evidence” arranged by Minho Hazama, and “Gibbs St.” arranged by Brian Krock.
