{"product_id":"leitch-peter-new-life-music-cd","title":"Leitch,peter - New Life - Music CD","description":"(2-CD set) When guitarist Peter Leitch heard the diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer in 2012, and the grim prognosis of 11 months to live, he made the hard choice of undergoing potentially career-ending treatment rather than succumb to the disease. Eight years later, thanks to his indomitable spirit and a brilliant oncologist, he is still live-unable to play his instrument but still driven to create music. Peter has re-invented himself as a composer, arranger, and director of a 14-piece orchestra. Celebrating this transformation, he has released New Life, the Peter Leitch New Life Orchestra's debut recording, Jazz House 7006\/7. \"After coming to terms with the loss of the use of my left arm as the result of the chemo and radiation,\" Peter says, \"It occurred to me that I was free from the tyranny of the jazz guitar-of having to practice every day. I realized I could create music that was not limited to four fingers on six strings. I began to write.\" Over the next two years, Peter composed, arranged, and orchestrated the 17 pieces that comprise this two-CD set. Encouraged by his friends and the success of a series of jazz club performances, the band went into the studio! Listeners will find a distillation of \"all the music I've ever heard-from hard bop to rural blues to more modern abstract elements.\"","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59478553919569,"sku":"JZHO70067.2","price":34.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/3869533-3023050_f37d9d6e-4234-4afa-9cd0-69924cd03cbf.jpg?v=1778148379","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/es\/products\/leitch-peter-new-life-music-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
