The Hard Rubber Orchestra is the "Godzilla of the Vancouver jazz scene, a big, goofy monster that stomps through complex charts with the swagger of big swing band and the heat of a thermonuclear explosion."

Korsrud and the Orchestra are also known for producing large-scale, highly entertaining, multimedia events such as The Ice Age: The First New Music Ice Show (Kerrisdale Arena, 2000), Elvis Cantata II (St. Andrews Wesley Church, 1996), White Hot Core (Du Maurier International Jazz Festival, 1995), The Elvis Cantata (St. Andrews Wesley Church, 1994), Hard Rubber Lollapalooza (Glass Slipper, 1993) and Solstice (Du Maurier International Jazz Festival, 1991). The Ice Age incorporated 10 figure skaters, including gold medalist Emanuel Sandhu, hockey players, curlers and more...
