Jazz
Mazel Tov Kocktail!, the newest recording by the Ira B. Liss Big Band Jazz Machine, is a swinging, rollicking collection of new and standard big band numbers performed by a tight-knit group of top-notch musicians. The band is well known in Southern California for its fun and engaging performances that have often featured some of the top names in jazz, like Bob Mintzer, Bob Mintzer, Wayne Bergeron, Holly Hofmann, and Eric Marienthal, to name just a few.
Ira Liss formed the band back in 1979 and today is the band’s producer, conductor, artistic director, and overall guiding light. Liss is a big guy. He is 6’7” tall, which is why he started out as an alto saxophonist but was moved by a teacher to the baritone sax chair when he was in his high school band. A native of San Diego, he studied music at San Diego State University and went on to perform as a sideman with many jazz luminaries, such as Rob McConnell, Barney Kessel, Louie Bellson, Pete Christlieb, Thad Jones, and many others.
