Vorcza

About

Vorcza is explosive; a musical evolution at high speed.  Performing an official Discover Jazz Festival show for the first time since 2022, this instrumental trio is composed of Ray Paczkowski on hammond organ and keyboards, Gabe Jarrett on drums and Rob Morse on acoustic and electric bass.  Though the three members are known for their sideman roles in groups from the Trey Anastasio band to the Hadestown Orchestra, the democratic unit that is Vorcza (or Vorcza Trio) has been playing together for 25 years and has continued to move and inspire crowds with their singular brand of fiery, danceable jazz/funk improvisation.

 A standout on the eastern U.S. creative music circuit since its inception in the early 2000’s, Vorcza has two albums of original material to their credit and have appeared on stage with luminaries Trey Anastasio, Peter Apfelbaum, Josh Roseman, Cyro Batiste and Nicholas Cassarino among many others.  After performing at festivals from Bonnaroo to Evolve in Nova Scotia, Vorcza returns to its Vermont roots this summer at the Discover Jazz Festival.
