John Yao and His 17-piece Instrument (JY-17 for short) features the diverse compositions of trombonist, composer and arranger John Yao.  Yao’s lyrical soloing and expressive, round tone combined with his creative hunger for exploring the boundaries of harmony and rhythm in his compositions and arrangements have established him as a unique musical talent and forward-thinking jazz talent.  In 2023, Yao earned a place in the Rising Star Trombone and Rising Star Big Band categories in the DownBeat Critics Poll.  This performance will feature new works from his forthcoming suite “Continuum” to be recorded in early February 2024.
