The production also showcases several of ‘Steps Ahead’s’ initiator and vibraphonist Mike Mainieri’s compositions from the old recordings now set in a jazz orchestra formation. Directing the ensemble is Fritz Renold, Jazzaar Festival’s music director. The Future Steps production presents the wonders of young talents working closely with professionals, some of whom were actual members of ‘Steps Ahead’ (‘Steps’). By so doing the young musicians were handed down a legacy and a musical heritage, raising their own levels of musicality and proficiency in the process. The tunes were written by Fritz Renold and Mike Mainieri while arranged and orchestrated for the Swiss Youth Jazz Orchestra by prolific writers such as Gil Goldstein, Christian Jacob, Jamshied Sharifi, Fritz Renold, Corey Allen and Bob Freedman. Future Steps is a ‘Bandstand Learning with Role Models’ production premiered at Jazzaar Festival, Aarau, Switzerland. www.jazzaar.com ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBGP1EWGyfk
