   About Realistic Orchestra
This layout is from www.iloveyourspace.com Realistic Orchestra is composed by many of the most amazing instrumentalists in the SF Bay Area. The band has made a name for itself from it’s popular monthly first Tuesdays at Bruno’s over the past 2 years as well as special performaces at places like Elbo Room, Studio Z, Velvet Lounge, Fillmore Jazz Festival, Jazz At Pearl’s, The Mystic Theater etc...The instrumentation of the orchestra is based on a century old classic ensemble known as the "Big Band" or "Jazz Orchestra" which includes 13-15 horns and Rhythm section; in addition to this we’ve added DJ Aspect, Dublin on vocals as well as upright and electric bass players. These elements, combined with modern electronic influenced grooves, epich arrangements and cutting edge jazz improvisation , create the distict and unmistakable Realistic orchestra sound. The band has released one full length album "Live at Bruno’s".

To Release isn't to forget, not to think about, or ignore.
It doesn't leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret.
It's not about pride and it's not obsessing or dwelling on the past.
It's not about giving in or giving up.
To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on.
Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing.
To release is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh,
made you cry, and made you grow.
It's about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain.
Letting go is releasing and having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving.
It is realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy.
To let go is to open a door, and to clear a path and set yourself free---

Realistic Orchestra, remember that it's easy to let go when holding on
hurts so bad--so free yourself from all these expectations and just be :-)
Hope you find the unity in my new single posted “Release” feat. JRockA.
So come peep the track! Stay creative and stay connected!!

ONEness;
Sarai
