The Song Project

TSP is Mark Rapp and Derek Lee Bronston performing "unique arrangements of popular songs by bands as diverse as Radiohead, AC/DC and Tears for Fears, as well as original compositions. The genre in a broader sense, can be called jazz and is a blend of improvisation, singer/songwriter, rock, ambient sound and even includes a taste of New Orleans. Trumpeter Mark Rapp says, the music is "filled with great melodies. From jazz to rock to country to whatever, it’s honest, soulful expression that is our goal.' Guitarist Derek Lee adds, 'We explore the art of the song both written and improvised.'” - parts excerpted from the web Applum notes on http://www.thesongproject.net/the-song-project-applum/
