Ferit Odman - Dameronia With Strings

180-gram transparent orange vinyl

Jazz drummer Ferit Odman's third album, "Dameronia With Strings" is a tribute to Tadd Dameron. This critically acclaimed album is now on 180-gram transparent orange vinyl, ready to be archived by jazz lovers and audiophiles around the world.

The remarkably sensitive played session by Ferit Odman, Terell Stafford, Peter Washington and Danny Grissett, both as a band and ace soloists, lets us dream up high above the sky together with a well-balanced, swinging string sextet and beautiful arrangements by David O'Rourke. This is a tribute to Tadd Dameron and gives us the chance to remember Dameron's influential approach to jazz as an orchestrator too. Just like Philly Joe Jones did with his Dameronia project, Odman takes us on a beautiful journey around the fantastic music composed by Tadd Dameron, this time with the addition of strings.
