O’s Notes: Toronto-based pianist and composer Brian Dickinson performs in small and large band formats. He is in sync with a large ensemble for his latest release of original compositions.“Music For Jazz Orchestra“opens with the rich four-piece “Gentle Giant Suite”, a peaceful opening before they increase the tempo and energy level on “Orion” and conclude the set with the vibrant “Spring” We enjoyed the rich warm layering of brass in an overall dynamic presentation.
