CUESTA JAZZ COMES TO THE
BLAKESLEE AUDITORIUM ON DECEMBER 4
An exciting combination of Big
Band and Vocal Jazz tunes has been scheduled for local fans, with “All
That Jazz,” a performance featuring Vocé and the Cuesta Jazz Ensemble.
The performance is scheduled at 7 p.m., Sunday, December 4 in the
Blakeslee Auditorium, located behind the Cuesta College San Luis Obispo
Campus. The award-winning jazz groups will be directed by John Knutson
and Ron McCarley.
The Cuesta Jazz ensemble has an exciting mix of swing, bebop, Latin jazz
and blues prepared for the evening. It is a full instrumentation
big band with some of the most talented up-and-coming musicians in this
area. We will be featuring works by John Coltrane, Miles Davis and
Gordon Goodwin.
Vocé is fresh off of their
European Tour, where they gave two feature performances at the Montreux
Jazz Festival. “They were the most exciting performances in my career,”
said Vocé director John Knutson. “We were performing in front of
1,000-plus people, looking at the sun setting over the Swiss Alps on
Lake Geneva, and getting a standing ovation.”
The two ensembles will join forces
for the closer: “Don’t Be That Way.” This “barn-burner” is the
well-known version by the New York Voices.
Tickets for “All That Jazz” are
$10 for adults and $8 for students, Jazz Federation, seniors and
children under 12.
