Organizer: Bob Long
The Jazz Program of the Missouri Western School of Fine Arts will present its annual Fall Jazz Concert, Tuesday November 18. The concert will feature a performance by the MWSU Jazz Ensemble. The theme of the concert is A Little of This, and a Little of That. The Jazz Ensemble will showcase classic works by the great arranger/writer Sammy Nestico, who was a long collaborator with the Count Basie Orchestra. Along with the great classics the ensemble will perform newer works by some of today’s contemporary composers, including Ellen Rowe (Professor of Jazz, University of Michigan), and Kris Berg (international best-selling composer/arranger).
The concert is at 7:30 p.m. in the Potter Theater, and is free. We invite you to come share an evening of great jazz with the Missouri Western Jazz Program. The Jazz Ensemble will also be performing on Saturday, November 22 as part of the North West District MMEA All-District Jazz concert. The concert will also be on the Missouri Western campus in Potter Theater, sharing the stage with the junior high and high school All-District jazz groups. The concert will start at 5:00 p.m. For more information please call Bob Long, Director of Jazz Studies (816-244-5840), or email at long@missouriwestern.edu.
