trumpetAbout
After years of writing for Dave Liebman's Big Band, the
Westchester Jazz Orchestra, Bill Mobley's Smoke Big Band,
the BMI Jazz Composers Orchestra and the Cecil's Big Band,
trombonist/composer Scott Reeves brings his own 16-piece group to the Tea Lounge, featuring some of the best jazz musicians in New York. (Part of the "Size Matters" Monday big band series curated by J.C. Sanford)
Reeves has forged an original compositional style which All About Jazz describes as "varied and substantial, ranging from hard bop and Latin oriented themes...to French impressionist influences. His arrangements are restless, full of color, and provide ample solo space...amidst variable underpinnings." The band will be premiering a some new compositions....
