An Extraordinary Big Band Event
It is our unbelievable honor and pleasure to once again present the most exciting big band on Planet Earth. Three-time Emmy Award winner and five-time Grammy Award winner Gordon Goodwin returns to The Palace Theatre with the finest studio musicians in the Los Angeles, California, area to this historic venue - find out more about Gordon and the band at www.gordongoodwin.com.
We hope the entire New England big band community can share in this extraordinary opportunity with us.
Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band in Concert
The concert begins at 7:30 PM. The Compaq Big Band will be the opening act, then the Big Phat Band will go on for one set of approximately 60 to 80 minutes.
Instrumental Performance Clinics
As exciting as the concert and reception will be, there is even more terrific news for high school and college jazz musicians, as well adult big band enthusiasts. Members of the Big Phat Band will present 1-hour instrumental performance clinics starting at 1:30 PM on May 31 as follows:
Trumpet: Wayne Bergeron
Saxophone: Sal Lozano
Trombone: Andy Martin
Rhythm: Gordon Goodwin and the entire Big Phat Band rhythm section.
The above clinics will run simultaneously. Clinics are presented in a lecture format. Attendees should not bring personal instruments to the clinics.
The rhythm section clinic will be held at the Palace Theatre, and the horn clinics will be held at the Manchester Community Music School located at 2291 Elm Street in Manchester (www.mcmusicschool.org).
Jazz Composing and Arranging Clinic with Gordon Goodwin
But wait - there's even more! Gordon Goodwin will also be conducting a separate 1-hour jazz composing and arranging clinic at 3:30 PM that afternoon using the Compaq Big Band and handouts to give attendees an unprecedented view into his composing and arranging. There is adequate travel time allotted for those that want to attend both a horn clinic at the Manchester Community Music School and the arranging clinic at The Palace Theatre.
