Ben Gailer and the Auckland Jazz Orchestra are proud to present Monolith, a menagerie of jazz orchestra works composed and arranged by Gailer.

Ben's compositions are layered and symphonic, with dense harmonies and contrapuntal textures complimenting sweeping melodies and soaring solos.  His voice as a jazz pianist is also intrinsic to the character of his music.
