Description
ST. JOSEPH, MI — The Box Factory for the Arts 1101, Broad St., invites the public to attend Lake Effect Jazz Big Band’s final, high-energy concert of the year Saturday, September 26, from 7-9PM on our Main Stage! Now in its 27th year, Lake Effect Jazz Big Band continues to be one of the premier big bands in the Midwest. Featuring classic standards as well as new big-band compositions, Lake Effect Jazz Big Band performs the music of Stan Kenton, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Pat Metheny, and others.
Lake Effect Jazz is committed to preserving the uniquely American art form of big band jazz in concert and jazz festival settings across Southwest Michigan. The band is made up of nearly 20 skilled musicians led by Steven L. Reed, retired instrumental music teacher for St. Joseph Public Schools, where he taught jazz ensemble, orchestra, and band for 35 years. Several members of the band are current or retired music educators, making jazz education a priority for LEJBB. Find out more about the band on Facebook or at www.lakeeffectjazz.org.
