Step back in time with The Glenn Crytzer Orchestra, a dazzling 17-piece big band revered for its unrivaled authenticity and electrifying performances. Far more than a tribute, the GCO meticulously recreates the sound of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s from the big band hits of artists like Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, and Duke Ellington to Crytzer's own originals and new arrangements of American Songbook classics from composers like Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, and Cole Porter.
Hailed as "Best Group in New York" by the NYC Jazz Awards in 2017, the GCO stands as an elite collective of the world's foremost vintage-jazz specialists, driven by a genuine passion for the era that results in performances so captivating, they transport audiences straight back to the supper clubs, movie palaces, and ballrooms of a bygone era.
The Glenn Crytzer Orchestra has graced stages at legendary venues including Lincoln Center, The Plaza Hotel, The Rainbow Room, and Glen Echo Ballroom, consistently delivering unforgettable experiences. Their critically acclaimed recordings
include debut, Ain’t It Grand? (Blue Rhythm Records, 2018), and the festive "big band with strings" Christmas album, Underneath the Mistletoe, which Rolling Stone lauded, stating it "sounds like it could have been recorded 75 years ago. Solid and Delightful."
