John Fedchock New York Big Band September 8, 2009

Over the course of the past twenty years, virtuoso trombonist/arranger/ composer John Fedchock has risen through the musical ranks to emerge as leader of one of the freshest, most exciting big bands in jazz. His 16-piece New York Big Band is comprised of alumni from major big bands, along with several of New York's finest players in the "modernist tradition." The group delights in performing many of Fedchock's own dynamic compositions and arrangements as well as more well-known standards, creating a sound that not only honors but expands the tradition of the American big band.
