studio, making what may be the final recording in that legendary Sunset Blvd. room where so many great tunes originated over the past 65 years.
Future dates are expected to be announced including the Soraya in Northridge, the Irvine Barclay Theatre and the Theatre at Ace Hotel downtown. In addition to the concert schedule, the non-profit PJO is planning what Walden called “a summer program-workshop-clinic-masterclass where members of the orchestra will teach high school and college kids,” ending in a recital featuring the Pacific Youth Jazz Orchestra. “I want to give the next generation of music arrangers, directors and conductors the opportunity to work with us.”
L.A. has not had a resident jazz orchestra since 2006 when the Henry Mancini Institute, which sponsored summer concerts conducted by Patrick Williams, closed its doors. Walden cited Wynton Marsalis’ Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in New York as an inspiration.
