To launch 2026, we’re taking that spirit to the extreme by bringing in one of the flagship ensembles of the entire Jazz Mafia universe: the 18-piece Realistic Orchestra. Formed in 2004 by drummer/composer Eric Garland and Adam Theis, Realistic Orchestra is a modern electro-acoustic big band built from the core musicians and co-founders who shaped Jazz Mafia from the beginning. The group blends classic big-band instrumentation with futuristic textures, original compositions, bold arrangements, and a long history of cross-disciplinary collaborations. Born during the legendary “Jazz Mafia Tuesdays” era, Realistic Orchestra spent years premiering new works every week, creating a unique sound that sits somewhere between jazz orchestra, film score, electronic music, underground hip-hop session, and experimental theater pit. For this special residency kickoff, the full 18-piece ensemble squeezes into two of the Bay Area’s most intimate rooms—an ambitious, joyful, slightly absurd idea that channels everything the residency stands for: community, risk-taking, and big musical visions in close quarters. One night, Eighteen musicians. A 2026 launch with heavyweight sonic firepower. Tickets: $40 per show Seating Policy– First Come, First Served. No table reservations.
