Cory Wong Releases New Album ‘Live In Amsterdam’

Cory Wong released his album Live In Amsterdam today. The guitarist and composer recorded the LP live with the Netherlands’ Metropole Orkest conducted by Vince Mendoza.

The Grammy-winning Metropole Orkest is the largest ensemble of its kind with 51 members joining Wong and vocalist Cody Fry on the 17-track album featuring a career-spanning set from Cory. Wong previewed the record by releasing performance video for his song “Simon.”

“There’s a special thing that happens when artists from different backgrounds come together to collaborate,” Wong said in a statement. “The Metropole Orkest has a history and reputation of being the greatest pop/jazz orchestra in the world. It has been a dream of mine to play with them, and when I got the email from them asking if I would be interested in doing a tour and album of my original music, I was blown away. It was an immediate yes!”

“Working with Metropole and Cory was one of my favorite musical experiences of my career,” Cody Fry added. “The positive energy, the massive sound; I’ll be chasing experiences like that for the rest of my life. Truly a ‘signpost’ moment for me.”
