The orchestra has premiered more than 175 works and appears on 14 CDs\, including 8 on the Leo Records label.  Guest artists have included jazz luminaries Jaki Byard\, Sheila Jordan\, Jimmy Giuffre\, Geri Allen\, Lewis Porter\, Dominique Eade\, Walter Thompson\, and Matt Savage. \nFounder and music director Mark Harvey has performed at the Knitting Factory\, the Village Gate\, the National Gallery of Art (DC)\, Fenway Park\, Boston’s Symphony Hall\, the Berlin Jazz Festival (Germany)\, and the Baja State Theater (Mexico)\, to name a few.  He has recorded with George Russell and Baird Hersey\, and performed with Gil Evans\, Howard McGhee\, Sam Rivers\, and others.  Dr. Harvey teaches jazz studies at MIT. \nAardvark is: Allan Chase\, Phil Scarff\, Chris Rakowski\, Dan Zupan/saxes and woodwinds; K.C.
