Victoria, BC. Chris Millington has recorded his second CD, titled Boppin' at the Bengal Lounge.
Several of the selections were recorded in the famous Bengal Lounge, in Fairmont's
landmark Empress Hotel, hence the name. The Empress chefs were delighted to share the recipes for the
Bengal Chicken Curry and the Bengal Tiger Cocktail.Together, the elements of good music, food and
drink combine to recreate the experience of Bengal patrons in the privacy of their own home, wherever that
may be. The CD cover features the colourful face of the Empress' Bengal Tiger, which hangs over the
fireplace in the lounge. The music features a selection of original compositions and standards.

| "Saxophonist Chris Millington's new CD features Victoria's finest musicians with imaginative instrumental arrangements of Christmas tunes. The exquisite harmonies of the Empress Carolers evoke Dickensian London during the Yuletide season. Rendered with great gusto and musical expertise, the perfect way to have yourself a merry and musically diverse little Christmas." - Ron Forbes Roberts, contributor to Just Jazz Guitar, Acoustic Guitar and Coda |
This recording features instrumental jazz versions of seasonal favourites and traditional carols performed acapella by the Empress carollers. An
unusual combination you might say...
I would like this CD to celebrate the traditions that take place in your home.
Merry Christmas to you and yours and enjoy the music.
