MacEwan University Conservatory’s Jazz ensembles have a wonderful evening of music planned at Station On Jasper. We’ll be making full use of the venue's dual stages. The Conservatory Jazz Combo will start the evening off, playing on the small stage at the end of the bar.
The Conservatory Big Band will take over the large stage and play a hair raising set of brand new big band tunes with some classics from the repertoire sprinkled in. Brand new works include those by local composers Mari Alice Conrad, Tom Van Seters, Allan Gilliland. We’ll also play some works from the libraries of Maria Schneider, Charles Mingus and Sammy Nestico.
This will be a wonderful evening of music and merriment.

About the Conservatory Big Band
This is a full-year program for musicians to play together. This year's focus is on current big band composition, especially by local jazz artists and composers. The secondary focus will be on the essential repertoire of big band, such as Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus.
About the Jazz Combo
Adult amateur musicians get together to play authentic interpretations of jazz standards, modern tunes from the text “the Jazz Canvas,” and any original compositions by band members. There are plenty of opportunities to solo and improvise. Each combo has 6-7 players.
