about

Dive into the sonic time capsule with Jazz Mafia's Orchestral Explorations series. Born from the clandestine brilliance of Treat Social Club, our experimental performance haven tucked away in SF's Mission district from 2012-2015, these recordings unveil a chapter of rich musical innovation.

Picture this: a select few, gathered for an invite-only soirée, witnessing a 20-piece Jazz orchestra weaving through live film-scores and psychedelic projections. The stage came alive with collaborations — dancers, actors, comedians and the spectacle of world-class cirque performers…even violinists soaring overhead.
These secret sessions, now unsealed from our vault, capture the raw energy of those unforgettable nights. Realistic Orchestra, with its power and finesse, seems to transcend time. Whether grooving to contemporary beats or reliving the enchantment of a decade past, this is creativity on a grand scale.

Produced by musical director Adam Theis, much attention was paid to keeping the raw/in the moment urgency of these performances. Chris Fletcher, a stalwart in the Jazz Mafia family, worked his magic in the studio. Mixing and mastering these recordings, he not only preserved the essence of those live performances but added a sprinkle of studio fairy dust, turning each track into a thumping reality.

The hunger for large-scale creativity has never been more palpable, and now, the time has come to unleash the force of Orchestral Explorations. Get ready to be transported across time and space, as Realistic Orchestra's sonic journey breaks free, here and now.
