Introducing "MA PETITE FLEUR STRING QUARTET" Pt. 2. Meet The Arranger (David Shenton) And The Musicians (Katie Thomas, Erica Dicker, J.J. Johnson, Dave Eggar) Who Transformed My Jazz Ballad!

Welcome to Part 2 of the two-part Special Episode introducing my new release, “MA PETITE FLEUR STRING QUARTET”. This work transforms my jazz ballad into a lush classical string quartet piece. The work has been praised by a host of Classical Music Stars, all of whom are listed below. 

In Part 1 yesterday we listened to this new work. In Part 2 today we're going to introduce the incredible musicians who brought this piece to life.

David Shenton is the genius arranger behind this work. David is an English pianist, violinist, composer and arranger. He started playing the violin at age 7 and he’s composed hundreds of works from small piano pieces to full-length operas. 

Violinist Katie Thomas is a soloist, chamber musician, studio violinist and concert-mistress. She’s played on Grammy winning albums and also recorded with artists like Rosanne Cash, The O’Jays, Jimmy Fallon and the animation series “Dragons”. 

Violinist Erica Dicker works in a wide variety of musical settings in both notated and improvised music. She is a member of the electro-acoustic trio Vaster Than Empires. She is also a founding member of the horn-trio Kylwyria. And she’s known for her work with composer and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Braxton.

J.J. Johnson has been the violist at Radio City Music Hall. His Broadway musical experience has included On The Town, Cats, Fiddler On The Roof, An American In Paris, Wicked, My Fair Lady, and Sunset Boulevard. He has also appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman. 

Dave Eggar is a Rock Star cellist who recently was a guest on the podcast. He’s a 5x Grammy nominee. He’s worked with Paul Simon, John Legend, Norah Jones, Foreigner, Josh Groban and Train. And it’s his cello that opens Coldplay's massive hit "Viva La Vida".
