Brassy and Saxy Jazz! Best accoustics for a small and intimate setting. Upfront and close to the musicians, you will love it.Written on Jul 26 2007

great big band jazz - they were amazing! it was a wednesday night, and the place was pretty empty - so we got great service and an almost private show! highly recommended (and i don't even like jazz that much)! the two drink minimum is a bit rediculous (when drinks are $12 a pop) but what are you gonna do?Written on Mar 13 2008

The Orchestra was AWESOME. Although the place wasn't packed, they gave a really good performance and entertained the crowd. The guys had chemistry, and supported each other - which made the atmosphere very nice. If you love jazz music like I do, this is worth it for the price! And there was the group has a singer who sounded just like Michael Buble!Written on Nov 23 2007
This is perfect for a date, or if you have never been to a jazz performance, this will break you in. The ticket that you buy through this site is good for the 2 sets that are performed. So be ready for a 3.5 hour show w/ a break in between.
Definitely want to see them again.
NOTE: Parking SUCKS. So come early, and be prepared to circle the blocks around the venue a couple of times.

Description
The Collective West Jazz Orchestra is a 12-piece big band that plays delightful, high-energy jazz. The repertoire includes a full range of big band styles, from Count Basie classics to straight-ahead ballads and burners, to challenging contemporary numbers. You might walk in on a soulful blues trombone solo that gets the crowd howling on “Lonely Boy,” then bop along to a spirited tenor solo during an intriguing arrangement of Monk's “Think of One.” You might get to hear the band's up-tempo version of “Just Friends” and feel like you're listening to a Las Vegas pit band circa 1964.
The Collective West Jazz Orchestra is led by saxophonist Fil Lorenz, who fell in love with big bands while a member of the prestigious Menlo-Atherton High School Orchestra. The band includes great Bay Area big band talent: hot, professional jazz players who know how to handle a chart and a solo. These musicians have shared the stage with jazz luminaries like Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, Louie Bellson, Rosemary Clooney and others.
Lorenz began trying to put a big band together in 1998, after returning to the Bay Area from a four-year Navy stint. His original inspirations were Count Basie, and Maynard Ferguson's bands of the '50s and '60s. A long tenure on Tuesday nights forged in the atmospheric basement performance space of Johnny Foley's Pub helped forge the Collective West Jazz Orchestra into a rollicking and dynamic ensemble.
PLEASE NOTE: All shows at Pearl's require a two-drink minimum per person.
