Événement
Collective West Jazz Orchestra - directed by Fil Lorenz featuring vocalist Danny Grewen
The Collective West Jazz Orchestra is a 12-piece big band that fills up Jazz at Pearls with delightful, high-energy jazz. The repertoire includes a full range of big band styles, from Count Basie classics, to straight-ahead ballads and burners, to challenging contemporary numbers.
You might walk in on a soulful blues trombone solo that gets the crowd howling on Lonely Boy, then bop along to a spirited tenor solo during an intriguing arrangement of Monk's Think of One. You might get to hear the band's up-tempo version of Just Friends and feel like you're listening to a Las Vegas pit band circa 1964.
The Collective West Jazz Orchestra is led by saxophonist Fil Lorenz, who fell in love with big bands while a member of the prestigious Menlo-Atherton High School Orchestra. The band includes great Bay Area big band talent: hot, professional jazz players who know how to handle a chart and a solo.
Lorenz began trying to put a big band together in 1998, after returning to the Bay Area from a four-year Navy stint. His original inspirations were Count Basie, and Maynard Ferguson's bands of the '50s and '60s. A long tenure on Tuesday nights forged in the atmospheric basement performance space of Johnny Foley's Pub helped forge the Collective West Jazz Orchestra into a rollicking and dynamic ensemble.
Come have some big band fun, Wednesday nights at Jazz at Pearl's.
