Background

After being founded in 2000, the Berlin Jazz Orchestra had their first release with the label 44 Records in 2004 (Update) produced by Jacky Wagner.[1][2] Roughly the same program was to be released later in 2007 for You're Everything and also adding two more Steve Gray works to include an original composition and vocal suite. The Update CD release was widely accepted by critics and many details of Steve Gray's arrangements were worked out in the studio.

talented hopefuls for the Big Band...Marc Secara and his Berlin Jazz Orchestra have already acquired a reputation for being equipped with a big voice and tasteful timbre, he is 'guilty of nothing'... What the band, had a 'so-called' Background to offer...a smooth hit.
