Les Vacances de Monsieur Clochard

“L’histoire du Clochard” (The Bum’s Tale) consists of Ohad Talmor’s arrangements of seven of Steve Swallow’s iconic tunes for a chamber orchestra based on the same orchestration as Stravinsky’s “Soldier’s Tale” (with the role of the bassoon fulfilled by Talmor’s tenor saxophone)
The group features Greg Tardy on Clarinet, Russ Johnson on Trumpet, Meg Okura on violin and Jacob Garchik on Trombone, Ohad Talmor Talmor and Steve Swallow on electric Bass .
An entirely original re-writing and re-working of Steve Swallow iconic compositions served by a cast of world class improvisers.
