Review by Peggy Foster

The album Time Within Itself by Michael Waldrop Big Band Arranged By Jack Cooper, Special Guest Jimi Tunnell is a masterpiece of contemporary jazz. The album features nine tracks that showcase the incredible musicianship and creativity of Waldrop and his talented band. The arrangements by Cooper are intricate and innovative, providing a perfect platform for the band to showcase their skills.

The album opens with the title track "Time Within Itself," a complex and dynamic piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "Dreams," a hauntingly beautiful ballad featuring Tunnell on guitar, and "Dancing Feet," a lively and upbeat tune that highlights the band's incredible energy and rhythm.

Throughout the album, Waldrop and his band demonstrate their versatility and range, moving seamlessly between different styles and moods. The interplay between the various instruments is stunning, with each member of the band given ample opportunity to shine.

Notes

  • Early in 2013 Michael Waldrop forwarded a portfolio of songs (jazz instrumentals) to Jack Cooper in order to commission big band arrangements. After Cooper arrived back from a trip to England in the Summer or 2013 he was finally able to assess to tunes a make some decisions. Because of the high quality of Waldrop's tunes it was suggested he try to pursue a whole commercial CD that would feature Waldrop. A substantial grant ($10,000) was obtained by Waldrop from Eastern Washington University to doing a CD.
  • Both a commercial big band CD and a 'Music Minus One' (for students drummers) types of projects were pursued. Due to the complexity of having both types of recordings and the many cost prohibitive factors involved, the decision was made to recorded during the Summer of 2014 in Dallas, Texas. The studio used was Crystal Clear Sound located in the northern part of the city
