Featuring a unique synthesis of reed instruments, brass and electric rhythm section, Zubatto Syndicate is a highly original take on the Big Band jazz tradition. Formed in 2009 to explore the musical place where Maria Schneider meets the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and the Roots meet Radiohead by way of Mingus, Zubatto combines detailed arrangements and inventive harmonic ideas with rhythmic settings and idioms atypical of the jazz orchestra, as realized by the some of the top improvising musicians in Seattle.
