Description
Saxophonist Art Bouton kept it simple in 2011 when he founded the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra: perform the best music with the best players. With Denver's powerful base of world-class jazz musicians, it hasn't taken long for the band to establish itself as a cultural institution in the region along with being a vital partner to educational outreach programs. For their debut recording, band members Wil Swindler, Steve Weist, and Paul McKee contribute arrangements of a wide range of classics along with the original opening track "Hopscotch" by Wil Swindler. With topflight performers including Greg Gisbert, Al Hood, Bijoux Barbosa, and Eric Gunnison, an aggressive programming schedule, and a supportive arts community backing them, this CJRO debut portends an auspicious future.
