Dear music lovers, this is your chance to hear our Christmas concert that was cancelled due to the snow.

Selections for the concert will include: music from the Count Basie library, traditional New Orleans Style, Foot-Tappin’ Funk and tunes by current masters like Gordon Goodwin. Highlighting this concert will be a very special tribute to jazz legend Stan Kenton and his band featuring music performed by the Kenton Orchestras from the 30’s through the 70’s. The ensemble will also debut a new original work written for the CMC JaZz PROJECT by local composer/arranger Bill Murphy. This concert is FREE and open to the public.
