    The Generations Big Band is an idea 50 years in the making. It is a Big Band comprised of MacEwan University faculty, students, and alumni who perform and record music written by faculty, students, and alumni. Pipe Dreams<\/em> features this All-Star Ensemble in a recording that celebrates the career of legendary flutist Jim Walker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Few other flutists in history have made such indelible marks as Jim Walker has in so many musical circles. From jazz to pop to classical, television to film to the concert hall, he has never met a crowd that didn\u2019t love his powerful \u201cstand and deliver\u201d performances. His playing became the gold standard from Hollywood to Carnegie Hall and unlocked the door to studio and concert collaborations with John Williams, Paul McCartney, Wayne Shorter, and Leonard Bernstein. Some of the 750 scores he recorded include Aladdin, Forrest<\/em> Gump, Apollo 13, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters,<\/em> Star Trek \u2013 Wrath of Khan, Jurassic Park, Titanic, Toy<\/em> Story, E.T., <\/em>and Memoirs of a Geisha.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This record showcases two compositions by Jim Walker, as well as music written for Jim by legendary writers like Bill Holman, Don Menza, and Gordon Goodwin. It also includes the premiere recording of Pipe Dreams<\/em>, a Jazz Concerto for Flute and Big Band written by Allan Gilliland and commissioned by Dennis Prime and the Cantando Music Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
