Description

Gennett Suite deluxe edition vinyl photoThe Buselli-Wallarab Jazz Orchestra is proud to announce the release of a special project that has been in the making for years. Brent Wallarab composed a 4 movement, 1 hour 20-minute-long jazz suite as a tribute to Richmond, Indiana’s Gennett Records and the jazz greats that recorded there in the 1920s:  King Oliver, Jelly Roll, Hoagy, Bix, and Louis.   It is named The Gennett Suite and recognizes the critical role that these musicians played in the formation and worldwide popularization of Jazz.

The recording was held in Bloomington by the 17 member BWJO in August 2022.  Noted jazz historians John Hasse and David Brent Johnson wrote the liner notes.  Classic artwork for the cover and discs is complete and a four chapter video documentary is in development (chapters 1 and 2 are complete).

In 1994, Mark Buselli and Brent Wallarab co-founded the Buselli-Wallarab Jazz Orchestra and with over 1000 public performances to their credit including a 12-year residency at the world-famous Jazz Kitchen, the BWJO has cemented their place within the historic Indianapolis jazz scene and is proud to be a part of the city’s illustrious musical legacy.

This standard weight vinyl edition includes 2 black and white marble metallic colored vinyl records and an extensive booklet with liner notes. Limited to 750 copies.  Now shipping!
