Alan Knieter Orchestra

The 60s and 70s featured "live" music. Alan was right there in the heart of it…from smoke-filled clubs in Greenwich Village, to nightspots in Westchester and Long Island, people flocked to see their favorite jazz and rock all-stars. These concerts were a virtual springboard from which Alan built his own band. Alan's classical training included studying clarinet with Leon Russianoff. He received his Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees from Manhattan School of Music, and conducted the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood as a student conductor for two seasons. All these experiences formed the musician and bandleader Alan is today. Whether listening to his soft, romantic ballads, the driving swing tempos, the Motown R'nR, or any other music that's really special to you, Alan has that distinct way of communicating. And he speaks right to you! Alan spent years playing club dates and society parties in the New York metropolitan area, and has appeared as a guest artist in New Orleans, Las Vegas, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago and Boca Raton. On these gigs, Alan jammed with…and learned from the finest musicians in the business.
