DIVA JAZZ ORCHESTRA

DIZZY'S CLUB / MARCH 27-30

Drummer Sherrie Maricle has led the Diva Jazz Orchestra, the acclaimed all-women big band, since its inception over three decades ago, providing a showcase for numerous talented female instrumentalists. Diva has served as an incubator for many up-and-coming players and composers who have gone on to successful careers as leaders themselves, including the late Clare Daly, Ingrid Jensen, Sharel Cassity, Anat Cohen and Alexa Tarantino. Of course, some veterans have found a home in the band, including trumpeter Jami Dauber, tenor saxophonist Laura Dreyer, pianist Tomoko Ohno and bassist Noriko Ueda. With their wide repertoire and extensive library of inventive arrangements, Diva has music to delight everyone. Diva will feature guest vocalist Clint Holmes, as they interpret brilliant settings of Broadway favorites and jazz standards with their formidable chops.—KD
