Seattle Women's Jazz Orchestra - Dreamcatcher [CD]

I was immediately swept up by the magnetic personality of this band... - Trumpet Guild Journal. Performing the music of Johnny Griffin, Kim Richmond, Bobby Darin and their director, Daniel Barry, the 4-year-old SWOJO shows their breadth of style and spirit in this set of live tracks from the past year. Recorded at jazz festivals around the North West and from a tour of Peru, the band, according to Barry, "performs a more artful, sensitive and appealing music than the standard in-your-face big band. You want to balance it all, and we have the capability of doing that to a very high level."
