The Morchestra Jazz Orchestra
In this unique concert experience, the Morchestra will highlight the key aspects of the arrangers’ art by taking well-known tunes and transforming them, staying true to the spirit while revealing unexpected facets. “Tea for Two” as a 7/4 mambo? Yup. “Scarborough Fair” reimagined by the love child of Coltrane and Aaron Copland?! You bet! Beloved Bay Area vocalist Clairdee will bring an added flare to the revamped renditions.
Arranger Tony Corman says, “We all understand what composers do: they make new songs. And players play them. But the art of the arranger is less well understood. In fact, Richard Niles, who has arranged for Ray Charles, Tina Turner and many other luminaries, wrote a book on the subject titled The Invisible Artist.
