Rainbow Room Orchestra

In 1987, the Rainbow Room complex in New York City commissioned Cabot-Scott Productions to design and assemble a unique musical ensemble, developing the theme "Isn't it Romantic?â€

Literally hundreds of musicians were screened for their respective talent, appearance and Compatibility, as well as their desire to become a part of this creative musical undertaking.

What makes the Rainbow Room Orchestra unique? This ensemble, as experts comment, produces "magnificent, glorious music.†Eleven musicians perform arrangements written specifically for dancing with loving care, impressive unity of purpose, compatible tonal qualities, precise execution and free flowing rhythms. Whether dancing or listening, The Rainbow Room orchestra creates the ideal ambience for an unforgettable "isn't it Romantic†evening.

In addition to their ability to read and interpret the written note, the orchestra is comprised of outstanding improvisational musicians. This youthful, all acoustical ensemble generates an exciting beat which becomes literally and figuratively infectious.

The Music Played by the Rainbow Room Orchestra not only covers all of the memorable "golden age†of musical film, but the notable popular compositions of the master composers of that era. These pieces include Jazz, Blues, Waltzes, Latin dances and "Big Band†Classics. The concentration of effort was to bring back the romantic dance music from the 1930's and 40's in its purest form. It has been accomplished effectively and elegantly.
