Either/Orchestra LIVE at Fete February 3, 2012

The Either/Orchestra is "the best little big-band ever," according to Downbeat.com, but the term hardly does them justice. For 26 years, the ten piece EO has been expanding the limits of jazz, Afro-Caribbean and Ethiopian music through a dozen albums and in venues around the world. No stodgy archival project, the musicians, from ages 21 to 57, play with the energy of a hot funk or Latin band and take the audience for a ride to unexpected places. Recently the Albany Times-Union called them "esoteric jazzbos [who] get down and get funky, too."
