After a long discography and stage experience in the jazz area, where Thierry Maillard already could explore all different facets of this music, from solo piano to septet to trio of course, and several orchestral experiences with strings (Prague’s Philharmonic Orchestra), Thierry Maillard realises his life’s work, with the creation of this exceptional big band which synthesises all his influences and his many musical experiences, in a big melodical, harmonic and rhythmic whirl, for everybody’s enjoyment, and while pursuing happiness of course!

A tribute that Thierry Maillard wanted to pay to Frank Zappa, as this artist with his extraordinary creativity could have been inspiring for him. With in-depth compositions in a very "signed" style, born of his love for Music in general.
