The Zubatto Syndicate is a new 12-piece ensemble under the direction of composer and guitarist Andrew Boscardin. This exciting new group – a highly original take on the Big Band and jazz orchestra traditions – made its debut in November 2009 at Town Hall Seattle. Featuring a unique synthesis of reed instruments, brass and electric rhythm section, Zubatto targets the musical place where Maria Schneider meets the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and the Roots meet Radiohead by way of Mingus. The music combines detailed arrangements and inventive harmonic ideas with rhythmic settings and idioms atypical of the jazz orchestra, as realized by the some of the top improvising musicians in Seattle.

Zubatto Syndicate is:
Byron Vannoy – drums • David Marriott, Jr. – trombone • Greg Sinibaldi – tenor saxophone • Francine Peterson – bassoon • Chad McCullough – trumpet • Janet Putnam – oboe and English horn • Tim Carey – bass • Mack Grout – keys • Mark Taylor – alto saxophone • Jim DeJoie – baritone saxophone • Beth Fleenor – clarinet • Andrew Boscardin – guitar
