band / ensemble / orchestraAbout
Resonance Jazz, a one-of-a-kind jazz octet, has been chosen to launch the A List Musiq Circle’s summer music series at Yoshi’s Oakland on June 25, 2013 at 8pm with a concert and CD release party. Hosted by KPFA Radio’s Greg Bridges, the band will debut tunes from their new CD entitled Introductions.
Resonance jazz octet is comprised of saxophone, flute, violin, viola, cello, double bass, keyboard and drums. It is the only jazz ensemble in Northern California with this unusual instrumentation. The result is a rich fusion of orchestral and big band sounds.
The concert will include original music by bandleader Steve McQuarry, as well as McQuarry’s creative arrangements of jazz standards, pop tunes and classical favorites....
