The Easy-Bake Orchestra, a 17-piece jazz orchestra had me at hello.

I mean picture the scene at the Music Theater Group @ One Arm Red: a large group of sax players, trumpeters, trombonists, a piano player, drummer, bassist and conductor/composer Joshua Shneider arranged in a Dumbo loft with deep blue walls, double height vaulted ceiling and amazing acoustics.

It was just too awesomely cool.

And the music was sublime. It’s swing music on its head with an avant-garde vibe. Unexpected harmonies, surprising rhythm changes, ravishing, swelling and sweeping soundscapes. It could be the soundtrack of a an eccentric — and jazzy — New York life.

And when bluesy vocalist Saundra Williams joined them on “Cute Little Nightmare” an infectious song written by Shneider the whole audience was swooning.

I’m just saying: you just gotta catch this group next time they play. That’s what I plan to do. And I’m taking Hepcat this time.
