Orange Then Blue:
Music for Jazz Orchestra |
 Orange Then Blue features some of
Boston’s finest jazz musicians.
The members of the 12 piece ‘little’
big band, with special guest John La Porta on clarinet,
let loose on original compositions by Charles Mingus,
Ornette Coleman and Thelonious Monk, including “Nostalgia
in Time Square,” “End of a Love Affair” and “Think
of Love.”

“60 plus minutes of sumptuously
arranged, imaginatively interpreted jazz ... an artistic
rarity.” —Boston
