The Jazz Connection Big Band: April 27
The Jazz Connection Big Band: Friday, April 27. Doors at 8:00, jazz at 8:30. $15 /$10 students/all artists: 
The JCBB is a well-established 17-piece jazz ensemble comprised of professional and semi-professional musicians from the Hamilton/Toronto area. They perform only the best modern big band charts from the books of Goodwin, Martin, Menza, Rich, Basie, and many other great contemporary composers. Jazz Connection’s approach is high energy, uncompromising, straight ahead jazz. They combine the highest level of musicianship with great charts in an entertaining show that engages both the jazz enthusiast and the casual listener equally. The incredible acoustics at The Pearl easily accommodate their very cool (although also very hot!) surround-sound big-band music; we are delighted to have them back once more and they will return May 23 to 25 for a rousing 3-day recording marathon!
