Vienna Art Orchestra
The Big Band Years

Album 2010 on EmArcy label
Jazz (Big Band, Contemporary Jazz)

The Vienna Art Orchestra is steeped in history and stories. Musical history. Jazz history. Big band history. For a start, its development spans 33 years and is documented through over 50 records and CDs, dozens of books (including one about secret societies in Austria), a movie film, TV productions, numerous Tour Diaries, and umpteen-thousand press clippings. The vinyl beginning and (with this compilation) CD ending of this history was marked by the now legendary “Tango From Obango,” the “orchestra’s evergreen tune” (Der Standard/A).
