L5Larry Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Rehearsals are finally over for our Summer concert season for the Jazz Big Band (well OK, one more to go). I'll be playing two concerts this week, one at a theater on Wednesday evening (4/25), and one at a college campus on Sunday afternoon (4/29). At the concert of Wednesday you will also witness the world premiere and debut performance of my first Big Band arrangement. I've brought an original song from my 70's rock band out of mothballs and given it the "treatment". I had to write 18 different instrumental parts, plus two vocal parts for the song. Now let's just hope it doesn't crash and burn.... Also on the program are two more original arrangements, one by our female vocalist ("girl singer" in jazz terms), and one by our former band director. Come one, come all, from the St. Louis region. It would be nice to meet some more of the local forumites. Wednesday, April 25, 8:00 p.m. Black Cat Theater 2810 Sutton Maplewood, MO Tickets - $10, $5 with student ID Sunday, April 29, 3:00 p.m. Meramec College Theater Humanities West building Geyer & Big Bend Kirkwood, MO Free Opening this concert will be the Meramec Symphonic Band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Natural Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I was up in Fenton for a couple of days in Feb. for work. It would be nice to get up there again this week to catch some big band action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Larry, I wish you the utmost success in your upcoming performances. I'll be forwarding my brother-in-law your gigs. He'll be moving to St. Louis soon and will probably want something to do. Good luck to ya'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
