Witness founder Mike Rivard's first night in Morocco, the country that had fired his ...
The Either/Orchestra turns 25 on December 17, 2010!
For a quarter century, the Massachusetts-based ten-piece E/O has been exploring the borders of jazz, redefining what it means to be a “big band," expanding the palette of the jazz combo and building bridges between yesterday's jazz and tomorrow's.
