Album Information
Recorded and mastered* early 2020 by the Year 13 Music BTEC class as part of their Music Production Techniques unit, this album was conceived and marketed by the Year 12 Music BTEC group for their Marketing & Promotion in the Music Industry unit. Although the Year 12 BTEC group would tell you that the album title “Jazzlexic” referred specifically to the notation reading ability of the sax section, it is actually an affectionate nod to the neurodiverse population at More House School.
*Unfortunately, the final mastering was interrupted by the Government’s Covid-19 lockdown measures.
