In august 2006, Sonic Steel released the CD Pieces of Pan that it features unique arrangements of calypsos, bossa novas, and jazz tunes played by this elite group of pannists from Denmark.
Pieces of Pan is both an interesting and varied album with soft and mellow arrangements like Radames y Pele as well as hard-swinging mambo tracks like Manteca. Sonic Steel’s versatility is demonstrated by their recording of Thelonious Monk’s tune In Walked Bud, as well as their sense of dynamic expression brings the Cuban tune Amantes to vivant life.
The ensemble has an amazing sense of feel and expression for the music, and these arrangements dynamically express their talent. This album brings something new and fresh to the entire steelpan scene.
