The Metropolitan Jazz Octet with Paul Marinaro presents: The Bowie Project, a compilation of David Bowie's song legacies reimagined for voice and jazz octet. MJO's approach honors Bowie's lyrics, melodic and harmonic complexity while also allowing a variety of improvisational and jazz styles to shine through; using David Bowie's anthology with Paul vocal interpretations and melodic style, we have created a timely and novel-sounding jazz album.
