'QUARTET' Concert - 07 March 2012

And to kick-off 2012, we began with a great jazz concert right in Midtown: QUARTET ~ the works and arrangements of BLC-III (Bobbie Lee Crow III aka our cellist/manager). We love playing jazz, funk, and whole slew of other "non-classical" pieces so this was a great way to showcase our flexbility and for Bobbie to showcase his orchestrating skills in a pop setting. iconiQuestra reunited as a "lil' big band" with full rhythm section, strings, and amazing brass players from NYU and featured small 4-piece+ jazz ensembles with special guest singers Ki-yo and Edmund Bagnell. Look forward to our next show in the Fall ... another jazz & musical theatre charity event!

P.S. If you'd like to have a chamber ensemble for your event, just contact us!

Check-out the final number, a mash-up of Rodgers' "My Favorite Things" and Mika Nakashima's "Love Addict," as arranged by Bobbie! More videos available for viewing at http://www.youtube.com/Bob10318:
