Search - Jeff Silverbush :: Grandma Mickey

Grandma Mickey is an album of thirteen compositions written by New York jazz saxophonist Jeff Silverbush, many of which are based on the songs that birds sing. Some of the compositions quote snippets of birdsong. Other compositions are based entirely on birdsong. The ensuing improvisation explores the relationship between birdsong and music. Some of the birdsong upon which the compositions are based is included at the end of the CD. The musicians are: Jeff Silverbush (tenor and soprano saxophones, composer), Jacob Garchik (trombone), Jacob Sacks (piano), Ed Fuqua (acoustic upright bass) and John Bollinger (drums).
