Sob Story by The Fully Celebrated Orchestra
The Fully Celebrated Orchestra has been a force on the Boston music scene since saxophonist/composer Jim Hobbs and bassist Timo Shanko started playing free jazz at punk rock clubs and street corners in the late 1980s. Still going strong as underground legends over three decades later, FCO also features cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum, drummer Luther Gray, and guitarist Ian Ayers. The band's "second Wednesday of every month" residency at The Midway Cafe in Jamaica Plain MA has become a destination for seekers of sonic magic, this album shows why.
