About Me

This layout is from www.iloveyourspace.comRealistic Orchestra is composed by many of the most amazing instrumentalists in the SF Bay Area. The band has made a name for itself from it’s popular monthly first Tuesdays at Bruno’s over the past 2 years as well as special performaces at places like Elbo Room, Studio Z, Velvet Lounge, Fillmore Jazz Festival, Jazz At Pearl’s, The Mystic Theater etc...The instrumentation of the orchestra is based on a century old classic ensemble known as the "Big Band" or "Jazz Orchestra" which includes 13-15 horns and Rhythm section; in addition to this we’ve added DJ Aspect, Dublin on vocals as well as upright and electric bass players. These elements, combined with modern electronic influenced grooves, epich arrangements and cutting edge jazz improvisation , create the distict and unmistakable Realistic orchestra sound. The band has released one full length album "Live at Bruno’s".
