Orchestra Superstring is an exciting contemporary group that plays instrumental jazz music inspired by Afro-Cuban, Latin, and other modern musical influences. Comprised of an eclectic band of well known Los Angeles musicians, ORCHESTRA Superstring blends infectious beats and fresh dance rhythms in original tunes written by its members, and creates new interpretations of jazz standards. Recent performances include the Knitting Factory, Temple Bar, Continental Club, Liquid Kitty, McCabe's Guitar Shop, the Buffalo Club, the Staples Center's Star Plaza (entertaining the crowds during the Lakers' 2000 playoff games), the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and the J. Paul Getty Museum (for the opening of artist Bill Viola's exhibition 'The Passions'). A self-titled CD on Dionysus Records was released in early may of 2003.
