Side By Side- MSU Jazz Orchestra 1 and Hackett Jazz Band featuring Robin Eubanks
Come join us Thursday December 4, 2014 for an incredible night of jazz featuring premier jazz trombonist Robin Eubanks! Hackett Catholic Prep is proud to host this "Side By Side" concert with Michigan State University's Jazz Orchestra 1 and our own Hackett Jazz Band.
"Whether performing with his groups, Mental Images or EB3 or with The SF Jazz Collective, Dave Holland Quintet / Big Band, Robin is an artist whose impact on audiences has proven powerful and lasting. In 2014, Robin won the Jazz Times Critics Poll for Best Trombonist and is a multiple winner of Downbeat's Readers and Critics Polls for Trombonist of the Year. He's also won compositional grants from Chamber Music America and an ASCAP Composer's grant. As with his performing career, his compositional interests are staggeringly diverse. Musically fluent, but also stylistically multilingual, the eclectic composer speaks a variety of musical "languages".
Robin's compositions and arrangements have been recorded by The Mingus Big Band, SF Jazz Collective, Dave Holland Quintet and Big Band, et. al. In addition, colleges and universities throughout the United States are performing Robin's original works and have arranged and recorded his music for their ensembles. He has recorded nine albums as a leader and contributed his talents to hundreds as a sideman." (www.robineubanks.com)
Hackett Catholic Prep is privileged and honored to host this premier jazz trombonist of his generation! Show begins at 7:00pm-- join us for a wine and cheese reception beginning at 5:45.
