Sean Nelson's New London Big Band feat. Wayne Bergeron

"The Lost Music of Harry James, by Thad Jones"

The New London Big Band performs recently discovered, unrecorded music of Harry James and his orchestra, written for him by Thad Jones. Trumpeter Wayne Bergeron is featured soloist in the role of Harry James.

L.A. based Wayne Bergeron rose to fame as a member of Maynard Ferguson’s band, and has since recorded on over 400 movie soundtracks. He’s known for his screaming trumpet playing, such as his performance on the 2004 Incredibles movie soundtrack.

Led by trombonist and composer Sean Nelson, the Connecticut based New London Big Band is a "full bodied and polished brassy big band" (Jazz Weekly) made up of 17 of the finest musicians in New England and include many enlisted members of the U.S. Coast Guard Band.
