Reviews
"Blue Orchid is a smooth and tight ensemble, playing a variety of jazz styles...I love the reimagined works, along with very nice originals based in the roots of jazz melodies. Cool group of polished pros! "
Pat Petrillo
Billboard charting Innervision Records recording artist, legendary clinician, and Broadway show drummer who has toured with Patti LaBelle and Gloria Gaynor.
"There's some really fine playing on "Beatrice". It's dynamic, expressive and shows real simpatico among the musicians. Zampetti's cymbal work is particularly appropriate. It's sparse where it should be and he draws beautiful tone from those plates. I'm very happy to see their success as an artist, and I'd love to produce a session for this band."

Blue Orchid Jazz has played for several years at our large fundraising gala and each time they have been a huge hit! Our guests truly love the upbeat music and continue to rave about how wonderful it is to be welcomed into such a great atmosphere. We look forward to continuing to work with Blue Orchid and can't wait to have them back next year. You won't regret having them play at your next event!
