Jazz Composers Alliance Players

Submitted by madflute on Tue, 01/05/2010 - 01:15.

This list, to the best of our knowledge, includes all of the players who've played with the Jazz Composers Alliance Orchestra, JCA Sax Quartet and JCA Winds. It includes players who've played with us steadily for periods of 5 to 20 years, as well as players who only played with us once (in some instances, on one piece, in one concert only). We're sure that there are many mistakes: our records are not good enough to track down everyone who's worked with us. There may be a few listed here who were on our "call lists" who never actually played with us. And there's bound to be misspelled names and players listed under the wrong instrument. If you know of any additions/corrections, please let us know.

The standard instrumentation of the JCA Orchestra is flute (and EWI), four saxophones, two trumpets, French horn, two trombones, tuba, bass, guitar, drums, percussion, piano, vibraphone and voice. The group was smaller for a number of years, and it has been expanded as need be, to four trumpets, five saxophones, and other configurations. The JCA Sax Quartet has two altos, tenor, baritone, and voice. JCA Winds is whatever we throw in.
