Industrial Jazz Group Returns to Southern California
Source:
Two for the Show Media
The 15-piece Industrial Jazz Group (IJG), an adventurous big band featuring the music of composer Andrew Durkin, will be touring Southern California this August, with performances on August 19 at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, and on August 20 at Dizzy's in San Diego.

Live and in Color: Industrial Jazz Group at the Space

See! Hear! by Richard Kamins
Andrew Durkin is in the midst of marauding up and down the East Coast with 16 of his closest friends. Pianist /composer Durkin leads the Industrial Jazz Group, an ensemble he created nearly a decade ago to perform his compositions, an unruly (at times) blend of mainstream jazz with Frank Zappa-esque (?) flourishes, comedic splashes, fiery solos, and “swinging" beats. It's wise-cracking but not snooty music that raises a smile while it entertains, makes your feet tap as ...

Michael Ricci
The Industrial Jazz Group is a 15-ish-piece large ensemble that plays the inventive, challenging and often hilarious music of composer Andrew Durkin.

In this interview, Durkin talks about ...

All About Jazz
I'm not sure why it took me so long to find out about the Industrial Jazz Group, but life is full of unintentionally delayed gratification. I'm also not sure why it took me so long to come across Amedei chocolate, Norma Winstone, the writing of James Salter or the psychic rewards of gardening.
In any case, Andrew Durkin--the Industrial Jazz Group's leader, pianist and composer-- intrigued me with an e-mail message asking if I would be willing to hear a ...

It is common knowledge in the entertainment industry that some musicians and entertainers are prepared to work for a pittance just for the opportunity to perform their music. Some entertainment venues do exploit this fact. This practice has a marked effect on the industry, in that, it is unlikely that many upcoming ...
