Maxine strings arranged by Bill Fulton

The track Maxine showcases an evocative acoustic blend featuring lush, expressive string orchestration. The Maxine strings arranged by Bill Fulton provide a warm, harmonic foundation that complements the rhythm section and melodic tenor saxophone lead. Recorded for the acclaimed Like Father, Like Son project, this arrangement highlights how tailored string lines elevate contemporary jazz and crossover compositions.

Behind the Maxine Strings Arrangement

Written by Ronnie Crumbly and Michael Furey, this piece blends melodic jazz lyricism with rich chamber textures. While Michael Furey arranged the foundational track, Bill Fulton crafted and orchestrated the quartet string parts to weave seamlessly around the solo lines.

In addition, the arrangement balances dynamic countermelodies with delicate pads, ensuring the strings enhance the rhythm section without overpowering the acoustic space. If you are looking for similar custom ensemble arrangements, explore the full catalog in the Arranging and Composing portfolio.
