The Dennis Dreith Band

Way back in the early 1980's a group of young musicians mostly in their 20's played around the LA jazz scene in a loosely organized jazz/fusion ensemble under the leadership of woodwind instrumentalist/composer-arranger Dennis Dreith.  Those musicians, virtually unknown to all except their peers went on to illustrious touring and recording careers working with the biggest names in the music business and added their talents to scores of top charting recordings. The band's roster now reads like a who's who of contemporary musicians. Unfortunately, that ensemble never released an album until now with the release of the Reunion CD featuring most of the original members of the now legendary ensemble. 

To see this band live, join us on Thursday, July 23, 2015, at 7pm at the release party, at Catalina Bar & Grill. 6725 Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028, 323-466-2210. Reservations are recommended. Cover: $20. The album will be for sale there, and the artists are available for autographs.
