Zubatto Syndicate

The Zubatto Syndicate is a new 12-piece ensemble under the direction of composer and guitarist Andrew Boscardin. This exciting new group – a highly original take on the Big Band and jazz orchestra traditions – made its debut in November 2009 at Town Hall Seattle. Featuring a unique synthesis of reed instruments, brass and electric rhythm section, Zubatto targets the musical place where Maria Schneider meets the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and the Roots meet Radiohead by way of Mingus.
