UWL Jazz Big Bands Fall Concert

Featuring a Variety of Instrumental and Vocal Big Band Jazz

The UWL Jazz Orchestra and Jazz Ensemble will perform a joint concert and cover a wide variety of instrumental and big band vocal pieces. With everything from Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Stan Kenton to Dean Martin, Jaco Pastorius and the Beatles, this concert has something for jazz lovers of all stripes! The concert will be directed by Dr. Jeff Erickson, UWL Director of Jazz Studies.

Among the highlights of the concert are a feature for Jazz Orchestra lead alto saxophonist Andrew Jones, playing on Billy Strayhorn’s “Blood Count.” Mike Meyers is back this year, serving up more “rat pack” vocals via Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin; also singing with the Jazz Orchestra is Selah-Marie Castellano, featured on John Clayton’s “Do Nothin’ Till You Hear from Me.” Rounding out the vocals, Leah Williams has two features with the Jazz Ensemble, “Teach Me Tonight” and “The Way You Look Tonight.”

The event is free and open to the public!
