John Arranging



"Australia's Ambassador of Afro-American Soul"

As early as 1976, John Montesante (then known professionally as Santos), had received national attention as Musician-Arranger, as this extract from a feature article on him illustrates:




Montesante's outstanding gifts as a world-respected Arranger has been a key factor in GRAND WAZOO'S musical excellence and longevity. The 300 + Soul & Rhythm & Blues tunes performed by Grand Wazoo over 25 years have been especially orchestrated for this dynamic Band by Australia's pioneer of Afro-American Soul - taking the band outside any "cover" category.

Due to constant requests, Montesante may be making his 10 part Arrangements ( 4 Rhythm & 6 Horn Section) available for purchase & in the near future may consider publishing books of his orchestrations for separate instruments.
