New #review today: "It’s not often that a release by an orchestra can be legitimately categorized as #jazz, but #MetropoleOrkest is no ordinary orchestra. Over the 80s years since its founding, the orchestra has backed such diverse artists as Ella Fitzgerald, Adrian Belew, Dizzy Gillespie, Al Jarreau, Tori Amos, Bono, Brian Eno, Elvis Costello, Snarky Puppy, Todd Rundgren, Louis Cole, and dozens (if not hundreds) more. But Arakatak is a pure Metropole release with no celebrity soloists, though it features compositions by #DonnyMcCaslin, #TinekePostma, #LouisCole, and others. #MihoHazama takes the baton for a rousing set of big arrangements." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/metropole-orkest-arakatak-2.html
