CreOp presents
Tina Marsh & the Creative Opportunity Orchestra (CO2)

This special New York concert will premiere a new composition by Artistic Director Tina Marsh, “Courage of the Butterfly," commissioned through the Chamber Music America (CMA) New Works/Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Jazz Ensembles Project. This esteemed national award is presented to only a few jazz-based composers annually.

CB's 313 GALLERY (313 Bowery)
November 7th, 2004 10:30pm

“This uncompromising ensemble features Marsh's vocals and she evidently can sing just about anything she can think of... The charts are creative and stimulating, and with the band at the end of their brief tour, they were at a real peak of dynamic interplay. Definitely a group deserving of much wider recognition." CADENCE Magazine

This performance is concurrent with CBGB's 3rd Anniversary of their Free Style Series.

$5 Door Charge - And anyone that pays the $10.00 Door Charge to go to the LOUNGE show that night will be able to enter the GALLERY for free!

CO2 core musicians Tina Marsh, Alex Coke, John Mills, Bob Rodriguez, Jay Rozen, Brian Allen, and Dennis Dotson will be joined by Matt Wilson, Ben Allison, Ron Horton, Curtis Fowlkes, and Andrew Sterman.

Far more than a typical jazz Big Band, Tina Marsh & CO2 accelerate the genre into the modern age with an avant-garde sound and world music sensibility.

“Too few people know that the CO2 is a killer band ... great, wise recordings stomping into disparate passions, touching on Ellington, Sun Ra, Stravinsky in tandem with CO2
