Sally Ride, NASA's first female astronaut was the center of the media’s attention during preparations for the Space Shuttle missions. More often than not was she reduced to being a woman rather than a highly qualified professional.

La North East Ska*Jazz Orchestra nasce dall’ammirazione e dalla passione per la musica ska-jazz di tre giovani musicisti: Roberto Amadeo, Max Ravanello e Stefano Salmaso. 
Tutti provenienti da varie esperienze nell’ambito della musica caraibica (ska-rocksteady-reggae), e consapevoli del crescente interesse delle nuove generazioni nei confronti della musica in levare, tentano di unire le molte piccole realtà del Friuli Venezia Giulia in un solo e unico energico gruppo! Nasce così, nell’autunno del 2011, un’esplosiva big band che propone i più affascinanti standard jazz con le calde ed incisive sonorità tipiche della musica jamaicana, sullo stile di storici gruppi come Skatalities e Jazz Jamaica All Stars.
L’ensemble comprende persone provenienti da ogni parte della regione, da Pordenone a Trieste, e proprio per questo, oltre che essere un’”orchestra dal suono esclusivo”, rappresenta un importante punto di incontro tra musicisti esordienti e più navigati, in cui ognuno può dare voce alle proprie idee, esprimersi in piena libertà e mettersi in contatto con persone altrimenti molto distanti…tutti fattori determinanti per creare un unico grande contesto musicale in grado di spaziare dallo ska al reggae, generi in grande fermento, sino alle più ricercate sonorità del jazz. 

Grazie al video "Take Five", un'arrangiamento del famoso brano di P. Desmond, è nato il "featuring" con il trombonista di fama internazionale Mr. T-Bone;

---> Dopo una serie di live, ciò si concretizza nel primo lavoro discografico per la big band friulana: 
I primi di Maggio vengono pubblicati un E.P. realizzato in collaborazione con l'associazione Time For Africa, un video di un singolo tratto dal suddetto cd e un vinile dedicato al progetto "Mr. T-Bone meets North East Ska*Jazz Orchestra.

Zamfir's Recurring Dream

Studying under Robert Ashley and Terry Riley at the fabled Mills College Center For Contemporary Music before graduating into the margins of the '70s bay area new music scene, Ms. Brouk blazed her own trail well outside of the musical establishment to create uncompromising electronic and acoustic work of sleek beauty and primal power. Describing herself as less a composer than a channel, she took her cues from the frequencies of the natural world and the talents of collaborators like Maggi Payne and Bill Maraldo. Hearing Music collects for the first time the deepest cuts from her beguiling and rare cassette releases and her archive of previously unreleased recordings.
