The Gotham Jazz Orchestra

The Gotham Jazz Orchestra  brings together a stunning all-star amalgam. Described as “a powerhouse big band” and a “swinging unit,” their first recording, “Thought Trains,” received a 4 star review in Downbeat and was listed as one of the magazine’s outstanding CD’s of 2005. Their second recording, a collection of new compositions entitled “Quake, ” is due for release January 2009 and promises to be an even more “invigorating ride” than the last one.

"The current GoJO project is entitled Hiding Out will be coming  in 2019."
