In “The Bowie Project,” a vocalist and a woodwinds player are combining their skills in a harmonic fusion with songs by David Bowie that feature jazzy additions.
“Once we picked a song, the idea is to not copy Bowie, but also not ignore what he did,” Gailloreto said. “We tapped into four other musician arrangers and did a treatment. They might change the feel or tempo or harmonize a little bit and put a spin on it.”
“‘Space Oddity’ was a brilliant arrangement and we said, ‘Do we really want to go there?’ because it’s pop culture,” Marinaro said. Those updated treatments alongside Marinaro’s jazz undertones create what the performers are describing as a new concept album. “It’s not just a Bowie album,” Marinaro said. “There are many underlying themes. It plays like an old-fashioned concept album.”
“Whatever camp [listeners are] in or if they never heard of a song, I think they can find way into those stories because he was brilliant at writing for all of us,” Marinaro said.
