JAZZphoria is an exciting contemporary all – original octet led by saxophonist/composer Jean Fineberg. The band’s original repertoire ranges from swing to bebop, funk, R&B, blues, New Orleans Second Line, salsa and reggae. Comprised of veteran musicians, JAZZphoria features an impressive four-woman horn section and a solid grooving rhythm section.JAZZphoria’s arrangements recreate the powerful horn sound of a Jazz Orchestra. The ensemble’s name refers to that peak moment when everything is in sync and all the musicians are “in the zone.” Many of the tunes are danceable, and the group’s goal is to get the audience in the zone with them!

Her compositions have been performed at the Monterey Jazz Festival, San Jose Jazz Festival, Carnegie Hall, The Grammys and the Kennedy Center.
