We’re delighted to present the Saxquest Nonet little big band at the Tavern of Fine Arts next week – Tuesday evening (Oct 13) – from 6:30-8:30PM. This will be an informal, open rehearsal-style concert. We’ll be blowing through some interesting new hard-bop charts as well as featuring some original music and arrangements as well as the music of Gerry Mulligan, Shorty Rogers, Dave Pell, Miles Davis, Gil Evans, and others.
This size group is fun because it can have the feel of both a small ensemble as well as a big band. Our last concert in September went extremely well and we’re looking forward to mixing it up and keeping the music interesting. I hope to see you there if your schedule allows.
Woodwind: Ben Reece, Derick Tramel and Mark Overton
Brass: Bill Simpson, Charlie Brown and Jon Siddle
Rhythm: Adam Maness, Chris Turnbaugh (sitting in for Ben Wheeler) and Tony Barbata
Tavern of Fine Arts is located north of Forest Park in the Central West End at 313 Belt Ave., St. Louis, MO 63112.
