BYU’s big band Synthesis presents ‘High Road’

The High Road double CD was recorded in May 2008, just prior to Dr. Ray Smith and Synthesis embarking on their spring tour of British Isles jazz festivals, including a memorable swing through Scotland.
At Tantara we agreed that Ray’s 2007–2008 band was one of the strongest iterations of Synthesis we’d heard in the three decades or so of the band’s existence.
