Steve Alboucq Music

I'm a member of the Music Works Jazz Orchestra, playing the jazz book in the trumpet section.  The Music Works Jazz Orchestra was formed in January of 2008 and derives is name from where it rehearses. Music Works Northwest is a non-profit community school in Bellevue, Washington. Paul Harshman, who is also the director of the award winning Shorewood High School Jazz Band, leads the group. His focus ..ing exciting and challenging repertoire has drawn a highly talented ensemble of musicians that enjoy performing great big band compositions at the highest level. The players are some of the finest in the area and the band has a nice mixture of established and younger musicians that gives the group great chemistry. Together, the band strives to entertain the audience and itself by exploring a wide range of music from composers and arrangers such as Bill Holman, Fred Sturm, Maria Schneider, Astor Piazzolla, Peter Herbolzheimer, Chico O’Farrill, Jim McNeely, Tommy Newsom, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Benny Carter and Stan Kenton.
