Album Notes

The Flying Dragon Orchestra, led by Tom Erickson, is excited to release their debut CD. The CD features 8 original compositions and one re-arranged standard, while showcasing the talents of 18 of Denver's finest musicians. Tom's compositions have been performed by professional and collegiate big bands across the country (Ninth and Lincoln Orchestra, William Paterson University Jazz Orchestra, North Texas Lab Bands, University of Denver Jazz Orchestra to name a few), and one of the compositions from the CD (If Only For A Moment) was recently chosen to be performed by Chuck Owen and the Jazz Surge at the 2nd annual International Jazz Composers Symposium.
