Jazz Stylin’!
April 16, 2016, 7:30 PM
FreeThe Colby Jazz Band’s final concert of the season will feature idiomatic examples of a variety of classic jazz styles. Gordon Goodwin’s “Race to the Bridge” has a harmonic scheme based on what jazz players call “rhythm changes.” Bob Minzer’s “Oro Preto” is built on different Brazilian grooves and “Swangalang,” his hybrid of jazz and blues styles, is referred to as a swinger. Michael Philip Mossman’s “Tanganova” draws upon classic tango rhythms. Topping it all off, the band adds some R&B from Earth, Wind & Fire.
