What people are saying:

“These cats can play! There's a lot more here than mere flash. I'm certain that you will discover what I discovered: substance.”
-Bunky Green

"Brilliant arrangements...Brilliant playing...I just wish there was more!"
-Jerry Bergonzi

“Their collaborative ethos and palpable delight in the music they make together engage the listener—and these musicians make no effort to conceal either the joy the music inspires within them or their desire to share it with their audience.”
-David Cantor-Echols

"After more than thirty years as a jazz performer, recording artist, and educator, I have NEVER heard a group of young jazz musicians with whom I have been more impressed than the Jazz Conceptions Orchestra! Led by trumpeter Alex Nguyen, the JCO features an amazingly talented group of fantastic players. The arrangements feature wonderfully orchestrated versions of classic jazz material, as well as originals, played by a fine-tuned ensemble with first rate soloists. If their recent gig at New York's Iridium jazz club was any indication, the response to the JCO has been overwhelmingly supportive and I can see why they are getting rave reviews. I wish all in the JCO continued success, and look forward to amazing growth from this ensemble, which has all the indications of being one of the most significant new jazz groups on today's jazz scene."
