Join us for our Pat Metheny tribute! A veritable icon in the music, Pat Metheny has created some of the most stunning art through his virtuosity as an improviser and composer. For nearly five decades, he has created soundscapes that evoke real emotion, and we will celebrate those songs through the sounds of our big band and shine the spotlight on our guitarist, Rod Fleeman.

For a lot of us, our entry into the jazz

world came from the inexplicable world of a lovable boy and his beagle traversing the meaning of the season in an animated special. The timeless music of Vince Guaraldi has been played in more households than nearly any other artist, and we are so enthused to deliver a momentous arrangement of these

classics for big band!
