Here are the excerpts from my big band's new release "Big Fat Grin - the Jamie Begian Big Band" 

As of now, and until the official release date of May 25, 2010 the only place to purchase this recording is through the Innova website

Here's a track recorded by the WCSU "New Music Ensemble" from the fall 2007. It's my arrangement of Astor Piazolla's Balada Para Un Loco - complete (That's WCSU students Jennifer Caraluzzi on soprano voice, Mike Rood on guitar and yours truly trying to sound like a Porteno...)

Speaking of the WCSU Jazz Studies Program... I'm very proud of the work my students have done over the years in my Jazz Theory/Jazz Arranging course.  To hear some great examples of what they've done click here for some mp3's and photos.

Here's a clip from a PULSE show featuring Triocracy at the Brooklyn Lyceum:
