March 9, 2007: Big and Little Bands
In anticipation of the UCSB Jazz Ensemble’s Winter Concert, “Modern Masters of the Large and Small Ensembles,” we listen to unique music springing from the big band tradition, played in bands big and not-so-big. Special guests include director of the UCSB Jazz and Percussion Programs, Prof. Jon Nathan, who we again contact via jazz-o-phone, and UCSB Jazz Ensemble drummer, Ali Warrick. Featured music includes tunes and/or arrangements by Gil Evans, Sun Ra, The Northern Arizona University Jazz Ensemble, and more! Plus: drummer jokes.
