Electric &nbsp;<br>Squeezebox&nbsp;<br> Orchestra

THE ELECTRIC SQUEEZEBOX ORCHESTRA HOMEPAGE- WELCOME!

The Electric Squeezebox Orchestra is the San Francisco Bay Area's own 17 piece big band that plays music composed and arranged by its members, which include some of the very best of the Bay Area's jazz musicians.  The composers and arrangers draw from a wide variety of influences but always come up with powerful music with groove, beauty and subtlety.

 

 

ESO back at the CJC in 2022! 

The Electric Squeezebox Orchestra will continue its second Sunday residency at the California Jazz Conservatory in 2022!  The band will take a break in December, but will return on January 9th, with Sheldon Brown leading the band that night.  The shows will also be live-streamed.
