About their new single, Bulgarian Bulge by Don Ellis:

The GFFO starts every concert with an overture. In this series of projects, we select our favorites and record them in a world-class recording studio for an album entitled "OVERTURES!"; the first of these being Don Ellis' BULGARIAN BULGE now released as their first single. 

In every overture, the point is to rev up the audience and prepare them for the features being presented later on. BULGARIAN BULGE is a jazz work based on Bulgarian folk dance music known for complex driving rhythmic characteristics. On your first listen, you'll notice compelling energy in the music. This is accomplished by alternating 33/16 and 36/16 meters that move the work forward in an almost magical effect. couple that with featured solos by various members of the orchestra, and you have a fitting start to an exciting album!

The GFFO recorded this track at the legendary Different Fur Studios in San Francisco! Read about this amazing studio adventure HERE
