Frank Macchia
Mo' Animals
Album US 2006 on Cacophony, Inc. label
Jazz (Fusion, Big Band, Jazz-Funk, Space-Age)
"Mo' Animals" is the follow up to "Animals" which featured many of the same artists. Frank Macchia composed pieces that he felt would represent these animals and arranged the music for sounds that would capture their voices. An all-star cast of fine musicians from Los Angeles plus a solo feature for harmonica virtuoso Howard Levy on Hummingbirds are heard throughout the album.
