Jazz Composers Alliance Orchestra performs at Berklee Performance Center on October 10th.
On Tuesday, October 10 the 21-piece JCA Orchestra will present a program of music for jazz orchestra at Berklee Performance Center, 136 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston.
The JCA Orchestra has released 12 albums, and has been performing since 1985. The JCA Orchestra has been a fixture on Boston's creative music scene since its first performance in December 1985. Dedicated musicianship, innovative programming and fresh compositional concepts make JCA concerts colorful, adventurous, high-energy events. The JCA Orchestra has released 12 critically acclaimed CDs. Wheelworks was on the list of Downbeats best albums of 2015. “Every community should have one” says Willard Jenkins of JazzTimes.
Drawing on influences that span the history of jazz and the world's musical traditions, the JCA composers have brought together a huge palette of sounds, structures and concepts. Many of the band's featured soloists are bandleaders and composers in their own right and are among New England's most creative musicians. The JCA Orchestra was a runner up in 2009's Boston Phoenix Best of Boston poll. The group has also presented an illustrious group of guest performers including Oliver Lake, Steve Lacy, Dave Holland, Julius Hemphill, Sam Rivers and many others.
Tickets for the 8 p.m. show are $12 in advance, $17 day of show. Discounted admission with Berklee ID is free in advance or $5 day of show. The BPC is accessible by MBTA.
