The performances featured Grammy award-winning artist Ledisi \u2014 who also serves on the PJO advisory board \u2014 and internationally acclaimed saxophonist Ben Wendel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be conducting the PJO in this first opening concert was a really gratifying experience,&#8221; Walden said. &#8220;Most of the orchestra members are musicians that I&#8217;ve known for a long time and have worked with on all kinds of projects. But now having all my favorite players in one place is just magnificent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Herb Alpert, whose foundation serves as primary sponsor of the orchestra\u2019s first season, said in a video message that the Pacific Jazz Orchestra \u201cwill continue in the tradition of orchestral jazz, but this is the important part: We will explore musical collaborations beyond jazz, which will appeal to a wider and more diverse audience. And this will undoubtedly entertain, inspire and enrich our great city of Los Angeles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next concert takes place Saturday, December 23 from 8-10 p.m. at the Alex Theatre in Glendale. The holiday-themed concert features singer\/actress Katharine McPhee (\u201cSmash\u201d, \u201cWaitress\u201d), Grammy-winning vocal group TAKE 6, and internationally renowned violinist Caroline Campbell. Tickets may be purchased <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificjazz.org\/calendar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Future dates are expected to be announced including the Soraya in Northridge, the Irvine Barclay Theatre and the Theatre at Ace Hotel downtown. Walden says audiences can expect \u201ca great musical experience that you won\u2019t get anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information about PJO, including the concert calendar and how to donate, may be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/pacificjazz.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pacificjazz.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LA Welcomes First Resident Jazz Orchestra in Nearly Two Decades by Linda A.
