Unbridled
The Flying Horse Big Band Meets George Garzone

The Flying Horse Big Band’s 9th album features tenor saxophone titan George Garzone.

Unbridled includes George Garzone on four tracks that push the envelope of big band jazz and jazz improvisation. Garzone is a founder of Boston-based trio The Fringe, the longest running jazz group in history, and he brings swinging avant-garde flair to the Flying Horse Big Band.
