Overview

The Ross Kratter Jazz Orchestra was founded by bass player, composer, and arranger Ross Kratter in 2010. Kratter’s compositions and arrangements, heavily influenced by Thad Jones, Bob Brookmeyer, Charles Mingus, Sy Johnson, and others, make up the majority of the band’s book; the rest of it is comprised of arrangements and compositions from other members of the band. The band, comprised of members of the Mike Stern Band, Arturo O’Farrill's Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra, Victor Wooten Band, Postmodern Jukebox, Streetlight Manifesto, various Broadway show orchestras, and many more, has played all over New York to sold-out audiences since its founding in 2010.

What to Expect

At a performance by the Ross Kratter Jazz Orchestra, one can always expect a sold out house. We perform very unique, very original music that spans from Basie-style swing to the present. The band is made up of the premier musicians on the New York jazz scene, all of whom are incredibly versatile.
