Is it really okay to be having this much fun?
CD by Rich Willey


Here is a CD of several Rich Willey arrangements made with the help of MIDI sequencing and ProTools (Rich is the whole band, in other words). You can hear his three- and four-horn writing on this CD as well as one Dectet chart. You’ll have a ball listening to Rich having a ball cutting loose like never before.

The selections include: Poor Butterfly, Sweet Lorraine, Puttin’ On The Ritz, Hard Hearted Hannah, If I Should Lose You, My Melancholy Baby, All Of Me, Like Someone In Love, three originals by Rich and more.

This is not only a fine showcase of Rich’s arranging talents, but a chance for you to hear Rich at his best, playing trumpet, bass trumpet and even slide trombone. (Don’t tell anybody, but he also sings on Hard Hearted Hannah.)
