 | Wednesday, July 24th at 9pm: The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present Joel Baer and The Blueshift Big Band performing Buddy Rich’s "Big Swing Face", released in 1967. ALBUM BACKGROUND: "Buddy Rich's orchestra was in its early prime, displaying a very impressive ensemble sound, charts by Bill Holman, Shorty Rogers, Bob Florence, Bill Potts and others, and such soloists as altoist Ernie Watts (a newcomer), trumpeter Bobby Shew, Jay Corre on tenor and the remarkable drummer/leader. Even with the presence of "Norwegian Wood" and "The Beat Goes On" (the latter features Rich's teenage daughter Cathe on a vocal), this is very much a swinging set. Rich has some outstanding solos and lots of drum breaks but does not hog the spotlight; he was justifiably proud of his band.” ~Scott Yanow PERFORMANCES BY: Joel Baer - Drums/Leader Chris Parsons - Guitar/Leader Trumpet: Adam Roebuck, Jon Rarick, John Dorhauer, Chuck Parrish Saxophone: Matt Zmuda, Natalie Scharf, Tom Zimny, Mark Colby, Tom Matta Trombone: Josh Torrey, Ryan Christianson, Conner Eisenmenger, Nick Roach Dan Parker - Bass Brad MacDonald - Piano Jess Brooks - Visual Artist / Vocalist ADMISSION & LOCATION: $10 admission.
