Jazz Fans: In the grand tradition of the Count Basie Orchestra, The Ithaca College Jazz Ensemble will perform an entire program of HEAD CHARTS (arrangements learned completely by ear and kept entirely in the player’s heads, not read from written sheet music).
The program will include compelling new arrangements of great jazz standards:
Round Midnight by Thelonious Monk
A Night in Tunisia by Dizzy Gillespie
Embraceable You by George Gershwin
Chega De Saudade by Antonio Carlos Jobim
Cheek To Cheek by Irving Berlin
Willow Weep for Me by Ann Ronell
Cherokee by Ray Noble
Think it can't be done with an entire big band?
Come and hear it with your very own ears!
Friday, March 2nd at 8:00 PM at the NYSBDA Symposium, Doubletree Hotel, Syracuse
Monday March 5th at 8:15 PM in Ford Hall, Whalen Center for Music, Ithaca College
