About:
The song: "Atchafalaya" is a New Orleans song composed by Michael League of Snarky Puppy for the Grammy Award-winning 2015 album "Sylva" featuring Metropol Orkest conducted by Jules Buckley. This arrangement features the trombone solo transcribed from the album, but the arrangement could also feature any improvising soloist.
The Name: "Atchafalaya" refers to a "long river" from a Choctaw word, most prominently the Atchafalaya River in Louisiana. It is also the name for the surrounding Atchafalaya Basin, the largest river swamp in the United States, and places like the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area and Atchafalaya National Wildlife Refuge. The term can also describe a now-abandoned ghost town in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana.
The composer: Michael League is a 4-time Grammy Award-winning, 5-time Grammy Award-nominated multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer, arranger, songwriter, label owner, and bandleader based in Catalonia, Spain.
The Band: Snarky Puppy is an American jazz fusion band led by bassist Michael League. Founded in 2004, Snarky Puppy combines a variety of jazz idioms, rock, world music, and funk and has won five Grammy Awards. Although the band has worked with vocalists, League described Snarky Puppy as "a pop band that improvises a lot, without vocals".
The arranger: Lasse Bergmann studied trumpet at the Arctic University of Norway UiT The Conservatory of Music, and at the Norwegian Academy of Music. At UiT he studied composition and arranging with Andreas Flifleth and Bjørn Andor Drage. His works and arrangements have been commissioned and performed by ensembles such as Nordiska ungdomsorkestern, Konsen Sinfonietta, Arctic Brass Ensemble, NMH Brass Party, Coda Hornmusikk and Bjørgvin Blåseensemble.
