A brand-new jazz ensemble, The All About Jazz Orchestra, will give its debut performance outdoors.
All About Jazz is a Website for jazz fans and musicians at www.allaboutjazz.com. For the past year, professional jazz musicians from various parts of the country who regularly write posts to each other on the site's Musician-to-Musician forum have been planning to meet in New York to socialize, jam, and give a concert. Most of the players, who know each other only through their online conversations, will meet face to face for the first time at a rehearsal the night before the concert.
The All About Jazz Orchestra will play six original tunes, all written by members of the band, ranging in style from rhythmic bossa nova to contemporary experimental.
Kicking off the evening will be an avant-garde group from the Washington, D.C., area, The Vector Trio. Afterwards there will be an open jam session for band members and special guests.
