What a year! 

Profound gratitude for all the travels and adventures, and much appreciation for the support from friends old and new. 

A deep sense of relief, as well. This year was an endurance test. We launched several challenging new projects while working to pay down debts and rebuild our touring circuit after the disruption of the pandemic.

In 2023, the YEAR OF GRIT & GUMPTION, we:

traveled over 27K miles

charted 13K spins and streams

added 2K followers and subscribers  

employed 389 musicians

gave 102 performances

directed 57 workshops

played 9 big band concerts

accompanied 7 talented vocalists

headlined 5 music festivals

commissioned 3 new works

staged 2 milestone collaborations, and

As 2023 comes to a close, with a sigh of relief and a smile of gratitude, we thank you for being part of it.

Here’s to 2024!

Cheers, 

Dmitri
