=================================================

Adelaide's 18 piece Funk/Soul inspired Big Band, "Crump Cake Orchestra" present their debut album "Just Awesome". Recorded over a weekend in June, the album applies Big Band Orchestration techniques to sounds that resonate with people today.
The album itself takes you through my full emotional spectrum, that is to say, mostly happy and silly, sometimes sad and reflective, so hopefully you enjoying travelling in my head as much as I do.
-Evan Bassani

acknowledgements
==================================================
I'd like to thank my family, Greg, Diana, Robyn, Adam, Ross, Jason, Genevieve for their love and support over the past 29 years.
Thank you to all past and present members of Crump Cake Orchestra, that have helped in the production of this album. I owe each of you guys so much and hopefully this will be the first recording of many more.
Thank you Malvern Uniting Church, for helping me to "keep the faith", and thank you to God for putting me in a position where I can do this.
Thank you to anyone that has bought me a meal, a beer, a coffee, or has tolerated my presence the last 10 months while I have been working on this album, and to my friends for their support.

Lastly, thank you to my girlfriend, Nikki, who has stood by me the whole time even when I'm broke ( surprise!), and to her family that have supported me the whole way.
