about

All music transcribed and arranged by Brian Carpenter
Produced by Danny Blume and Brian Carpenter
Released May 8, 2015

"The arrangements are inventive, and the solos come fast and furious. Hot Town is all about fun." -- Steve Greenlee, JazzTimes Editor's Pick

"At once faithful and resolutely postmodern in its approach to the most vintage material jazz has to offer — tunes by forgotten 1920s Harlem and Chicago bandleaders — Ghost Train Orchestra's antic Hot Town delivers an even greater jolt of period displacement. The sound of surprise can come from music long past, music only those of us in the here-and-now have never heard before." -- Francis Davis, NPR Top 10 Albums of 2015
