The Band
From the first sounds to the last chord, Story City takes you on a musical
journey that is as distinctive as it is artistic. Prepare to experience a
band that will remind you Music is melodic, vibrant, and complex at the same time.
In this decidedly American Classical/Jazz genre, there is a reason not many
groups attempt its performance. In three words: it's incredibly difficult.
Story City was put together to explore the music of jazz guitarist Pat Metheny
and the late saxophone great Michael Brecker. The ensemble has now expanded its
reach to include the Yellowjackets and most importantly, original compositions
all their own. A wide variety of musical styles has been pursued by these composers
in their conscious effort to promote, advance, and develop original musical voices.
The music is so complex that its performance takes an incredible commitment and
technique in its execution. Each member of the group was chosen because they
posses this level of dedication to their instrument and to the music.
Specifically through this perspective, Story City ushers in its own new thoughts,
ideas, and concepts to this ever-changing musical force we know as JAZZ.
