Denver and the Mile High Orchestra (D&MHO) is a Contemporary Christian jazz ensemble based out of Nashville, Tennessee. D&MHO was formed by a group of friends at Belmont University in 1999. They have traveled across the world, spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ at churches, conferences, and festivals. They have performed at two Olympic Games (2002-Salt Lake City, 2004-Athens), and were the house band at the 2005 Gospel Music Association Music Awards. The current instrumentation consists of bandleader/trumpet/vocals, 3 trumpets, 2-3 saxophones, 1-2 trombones, and rhythm section (keyboards, bass, drums, guitar)
