Jazz Composers Alliance Orchestra Residency
Johnny D’s
One of the sweetest developments on the Boston jazz scene of late
has been the first-Sunday residency of the
Jazz
Composers Alliance Orchestra at Johnny D's. In the past, the 19-piece JCAO
has limited itself to occasional concerts at venues scattered far and wide
around town. The Johnny D's gig gives their impressive corps of writers (David
Harris, Jim Hobbs, Darrell Katz, Bob Pilkington, Warren Senders, Norm Zocher) a
chance to develop new material - and revive some oldies - in consecutive shows.
It also gives audiences more opportunity to hear some of the best players in
town (including alto saxophonist Hobbs, flutist Hiro Honshuku, trumpeter Mike
Peipman, saxist Phil Scarff, trombonists Harris and Bill Lowe, fearless singer
Rebecca Shrimpton) play exciting, original pieces that draw on the entire
history of jazz and adjacent genres like world and classical | Johnny D's, 17
