Pack of quality
Mike's 'Pack' is made up of 25 of the UK's top instrumentals who were joined by the renowned big band singers Louise Clare Marshall and Matt Ford for the recording that was made at Birmingham Town Hall last year.
Now you relive all those highlights time and again — the release packed with crowd-pleasers such as a 'Sinatra Overture', 'Miss Otis Regrets', 'I'm Gonna Live Til I Die', 'Dindi', 'I've Got The World On A String', 'In the Still of the Night', 'Young at Heart', 'Frank and Ella', and much, much more — with all the music expertly arranged by Mike's collaborator Colin Skinner.
Inspiration
Louise Clare Marshall and Matt Ford bring a taste of even more stardust quality as the 'The Pack' inspired by the iconic 1958 Capitol Records Album 'Billy May's Big Fat Brass' go into overdrive mode, delivering performances packed with nostalgic and innovation.
