The Fil Lorenz Orchestra
Blues and Bop: streamlined, big band intensity
The Fil Lorenz Orchestra is a high-voltage, crowd-pleasing big band born of the blues, with a sound defined by the scorching energy of the Hammond B3 organ, a searing, relentless horn section and an exhilarating, sometimes challenging repertoire of well-known blues burners and fascinating originals alike. To put it simply, the FLO can turn any club or festival performance into blues/bop celebration.
âThe sound that inspires us, and that we shoot for ourselves, is a blending of that great 1960s Philly sound with the best big bands we can think of,â says bandleader/arranger/baritone saxophonist Lorenz. âRichard âGrooveâ Holmes or Jimmy Smith meets the Woody Herman Orchestra. Those are my two favorite sounds in the world, and I wanted to get to both of them with this big band.â
Thatâs setting a pretty high bar, but Lorenz has assembled a musical cast thatâs wholly up to those high standards, bringing some of the San Francisco Bay Areaâs most accomplished and adventurous jazz veterans together with some of the fertile San Francisco sceneâs most promising up-and-coming players.
