Neufeld-Occhipinti Jazz Orchestra

NOJO has performed at such prestigious venues as the Umbria Jazz Winter Festival in Orvieto, Italy, The Jazz Standard in New York, and Montreal’s Festival International de Jazz.

•

All five of NOJO’s previous recordings have been JUNO nominated (including the band’s 1995 debut which won the award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album) and its music has intrigued a number of renowned guest soloists including sax great Joe Lovano, trombonist Ray Anderson, trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, and most notably clarinetist Don Byron and the late saxophone giant Sam Rivers, who both recorded and toured with the ensemble.

•

Their present label is True North Records, and City of Neighbourhoods, received distribution in the United States through Rounder Records.

Gordon Neufeld

The Neufeld approach (his attachment-based developmental model) is based on the attachment theory formulated by John Bowlby.
