Gingers Tonic - the most intense show in my life for sure.
.
Im actually still processing the overwhelming emotions 😭
.
U might find it hard to believe but this show started off as a joke years ago, when I began doing spinoff versions of classical pieces i was practicing. At that time I hardly knew what Swing is, let alone arranging for a big ensemble.
.
.
And this idea stayed in my head for the longest time.

Ever heard of dry aged meat? Similar idea, the longer the meat is aged, the more the flavors develop and intensify. Finally, it was the perfect time for consumption and I hope you’ve all had a good bite 😋
.
Im still in disbelief at how quickly it all happened. It took ten years or preparation, but the performance itself lasted only a little more than half an hour :(
.
Get this though: it wasn’t only one guy who had the chance to experience it, more than a thousand of you supported us by showing up. Your presence gave life to the entire theatre and Im sure every single one of us that was there felt it together. It was a show full of life.
.
So thank you. For simply being there.
.
.
I would also like to thank all the excellent musicians and remarkable human beings Ive had the pleasure of working with, without whom, the show would not have been possible.
