Ben Gailer and the Auckland Jazz Orchestra are proud to present Monolith, a menagerie of jazz orchestra works composed and arranged by Gailer.
Ben's compositions are layered and symphonic, with dense harmonies and contrapuntal textures complimenting sweeping melodies and soaring solos. His voice as a jazz pianist is also intrinsic to the character of his music.

On this album I worked as producer, mixing engineer, and mastering engineer.
As producer, I supervised recording sessions, and played a large role in the editing, processing, and even sound design present on the finished record. My role extended beyond that of a mix engineer; we made a lot of sonic choices that required more production elements.
The mix is quite unconventional for a big band album, enjoy!
