Tone Poems sees Michael Garrick orchestrating textures and images in a powerful display of big-band colour. Released in 2011 and performed by the Michael Garrick Jazz Orchestra, the suite of eight pieces draws on myth, landscape, and autobiography - each composition unfolding as a miniature drama of shifting harmony and luminous ensemble interplay.​

The Michael Garrick Jazz Orchestra expands favourites "Black Marigolds", "October Woman" and "Midsummer Departures" plus two new tracks: "Songs of the Ainur" and "Jeduthun", on this 2011 album, from the legendary British jazz pianist/composer.

Michael Garrick's jazz orchestra features scorching tenorist Sam Walker, alongside towering bassist Matt Ridley and trumpeters Steve Waterman, Martin Shaw, Steve Fishwick and Gabriel Garrick, saxophonist Tony Woods and the rest of the 16 piece team. Matthias Garrick has a debut on timpani on "Rustat's Gravesong". 10 tracks, each with stunning artwork by Sisi Burn.

In 2011 Michael Garrick was awarded an MBE in for Services to Music.
