I was honored and pleased to conduct my colleagues and friends in the Reykjavík Big Band at the Icelandic Music Awards last night. We performed my piece of mine: Hokkaido, which will be recorded with other material by the Reykjavík Big Band this spring.
Nuclear powerhouses Phil Doyle and Sigurður Flosason almost burst with energy in great solos!
And it didn't hurt that the Reykjavík Ensemble won the Icelandic Music Award as the performer of the year in the jazz music category. Congratulations to Reykjavík's Big Band and congratulations to Icelandic music!
