“Jazz steps out of the box with a deliciously novel instrumentation on standards!” February 25, 2012

Resonance Jazz, a one of a kind jazz octet appears at the Piedmont Center for the Arts on Sunday, February 26, 2012 for аn 8pm performance.

This singularly unique jazz octet is the only one in the Bay area with this kind of unusual instrumentation. The octet performs various original standards by Steve McQuarry, Bandleader, and includes deliciously creative arrangements of jazz standards, pop music and classical favorites with woodwinds, strings and a rhythm section that includes piano, double-bass and drums.

Coupling jazz and classical musicians, this ensemble captivates its audiences with their lush sound of winds and strings punctuated by driving rhythms and improvised solos!

Members of Resonance Jazz have a collectively rich history of performing with legendary artists such as Dizzy Gillespie, Louie Bellson, Clare Fischer, Dave Anderson Quartet, Terrence Brewer, Joe Lovano, Jethro Tull, Oakland Jazz Choir, Mingus Amungus, Gloria Estefan, as well as the Marin and Berkeley Symphonies, Woodminster Theatre Orchestra, and the California Pops Orchestra.
