Combo Nuvo, an eclectic improvisational ensemble is comprised of some of New York City's leading jazz artists. The group combines influences ranging from jazz and classical to blues and world music. Individually, these artists have performed with such music legends as Miles Davis, Ravi Shankar, Elton John, Yo Yo Ma, Paul Simon, Natalie Cole, Dave Douglas, Oscar Castro Neves, Randy Brecker and Tower of Power. These musical experiences combine to create truly original music.
The collaboration between Combo Nuvo and the symphony orchestra has proven to be a symbiotic experience where the orchestra becomes integral to the compositions; Combo Nuvo invites the orchestra to not merely accompany them, but to become active participants with the group.
