The Collective West Jazz Orchestra is a 12-piece big band that fills up Jazz at Pearl’s with delightful, high-energy jazz. The repertoire includes a full range of big band styles, from Count Basie classics, to straight-ahead ballads and burners, to challenging contemporary numbers. You might walk in on a soulful blues trombone solo that gets the crowd howling on “Lonely Boy,” then bop along to a spirited tenor solo during an intriguing arrangement of Monk's “Think of One.” You might get to hear the band's up-tempo version of “Just Friends” and feel like you're listening to a Las Vegas pit band circa 1964. The Collective West Jazz Orchestra is led by saxophonist Fil Lorenz, who fell in love with big bands while a member of the prestigious Menlo-Atherton High School Orchestra. The band includes great Bay Area big band talent: hot, professional jazz players who know how to handle a chart and a solo. Lorenz began trying to put a big band together in 1998, after returning to the Bay Area from a four-year Navy stint. His original inspirations were Count Basie, and Maynard Ferguson's bands of the '50s and '60s. A long tenure on Tuesday nights forged in the atmospheric basement performance space of Johnny Foley's Pub helped forge the Collective West Jazz Orchestra into a rollicking and dynamic ensemble. Come have some big band fun, Wednesday nights at Jazz at Pearl's.

DJ Tom Stephan plays under the moniker "Superchumbo," which roughly means "Super-unleaded petrol" in Portuguese. Although Tom Stephan has done mixes for the likes of Missy Elliot, Basement Jaxx and Kylie Minogue, his passion remains playing for a live crowd. His transatlantic, twisted sound is an inimitable, seamless blend of deep tribal and funky beats, and is a journey into the sweetest side of dance music.
