Le Prestige is an instrumental and improvisational music group based in Somerville and Cambridge, Massachusetts. Their original songs are primarily influenced by the spirit of 60’s soul jazz and the big beats and loops of 90’s hip-hop and electronica. Taking an organic and low-tech approach to these sounds, the tunes feature horn-driven melodies and expressive soloing over funk, jazz, reggae and disco grooves. Live sets are peppered with select covers such as “Wichita Lineman” and the “Theme from S.W.A.T”.The band consists of bandleader and composer Chris Forky on upright bass, John Glenshaw on drums, David Johnston on guitar, Gary Wallen on vibraphone, Michael Mclaughlin on accordion, Scott Getchell on trumpets and flugelhorn, Kit Buckley on tenor sax, Charles Morrell on alto sax and flute, and Dana Colley (Morph*ne) on baritone and tenor saxes.

The Fully Celebrated Orchestra has been a force on the Boston music scene since saxophonist/composer Jim Hobbs and bassist Timo Shanko started playing free jazz at punk rock clubs and street corners in the late 1980s. Still going strong as underground legends over three decades later, FCO also features cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum, drummer Luther Gray, and guitarist Ian Ayers. Their latest album, Sob Story on Relative Pitch Records, was released in February ’24.
