from the Facbook Orchestra page: "'''The Israeli Jazz Orchestra''' was founded in 2003 to play '''Avi Lebovich''' music and since it has been creating new music, recording & performing nonstop in Israel & throughout the world. The Orchestra gathers Israel's top musicians into one creative and fruitful environment of composers, arrangers and unique instrumentalists that make the band’s special sound. The orchestra uses a similar structure to the classic big band but pours into it a variety of musical styles and colors. The Orchestra's performance is a thrilling and hypnotizing event, there’s never a dull moment with 13 virtuoso musicians on stage showing off their abilities. Alongside many performances across the country, the Orchestra has performed in recent years in Canada, France, Italy, Germany and South Africa."
