Just thought I would let everybody know that the Jim Widner Big Band (18
pieces) will be in residence at Cal State Sacramento, all this coming week. We
are doing a jazz camp for both youth and adults and we will be playing a free
concert every night from Sunday through Friday at 8 PM in the theater at the
music department. (Wednesday night off) You can also come during to day if
you would like to see some clinics, improv classes, big band and combo
rehearsals.
While it is technically not the OKOM for this list, it is a killer big band
with some pretty well known alumni of all the big bands. Some names you
might recognize are: Kim Richmond-sax, Gary Hobbs-drums, Mary Fettig-sax, John
Harner, Mike Vax, Clay Jenkins and Steve Campos-trumpets. The programs are
really varied, with some "old chestnuts" as well as brand new stuff written for
the band.
Hope to see some of you there. Please come up and say "hi" if you get there.
Mike Vax
