The Los Angeles-based Orchestra was formed in 2007 to highlight the current generation of dynamic L.A. jazz musicians. Featuring the wide-ranging compositions and lush arrangements of Jeremy Levy, and saxophonist Alex Budman's singular tone and improvisations, the band is quickly becoming an important musical voice on the West Coast. "From There to Here" showcases nine of Levy's original compositions plus arrangements of Michael Brecker's "Slings and Arrows" and "Zona Mona" by Bela Fleck.
•"(Alex Budman's) 'Instruments of Mass Pleasure' is an insanely good album." - All Music Guide
