Resonance Jazz, a one-of-a-kind Bay Area jazz octet, performs at Rhythmix Cultural Works for an 8pm concert on Saturday, November 17, 2012 in Alameda, California.

For this concert “Women Up Front”, Resonance Jazz Ensemble showcases a few of their female band members playing “up front” (rather than as typical background players ) marrying the sounds of their unusual jazz orchestration that includes strings and vocals.
