Happenings in DIVA
DIVA Swings Broadway is HERE!
Broadway musicals have been the source of many notable jazz standards, and this album continues the DIVA tradition of reimagining great songs. Each selection on this recording has an inherent musical depth, context, and meaning, energized by our original interpretations that will hopefully elicit fond memories for our listeners. Each arrangement was commissioned to highlight the power, force, and beauty of The DIVA Jazz Orchestra’s ensemble sound, and to feature our fifteen exceptional soloists.
