Keene Jazz Orchestra Winter Dance
The Keene Jazz Orchestra invites you to brighten your winter spirits with the classic sounds of an authentic big band swing dance. Fronting the band this winter is dynamic vocalist Leila Teitleman who grew up in the Monadnock region and is currently getting her Masters of Fine Arts at Lesley University. Relax and absorb an evening of traditional Big Band Swing of the 1930s, 40s and 50s including the music of Count Basie, Glenn Miller, & Benny Goodman as well as a variety of fresh and fun new additions to the KJO repertoire.
Founded by Scott Mullett, the Keene Jazz Orchestra's mission is to perform, propagate, and provide education for American Big Band music. The 17 piece band is comprised of the Monadnock region's finest instrumentalists, educators, and students, and boasts a résumé of performances and collaborations with some of the greatest living performers and repertoire in big band music. KJO operates under the musical direction of founding member and bassist Steve Cady, who directs Jazz Ensembles at Keene State College, is the Performing Arts Chair at Vermont Academy, and performs and teaches regionally as a bassist and music educator.
Music fans of all ages are welcome to dance and be joyful in the company of a live swing orchestra. Bar and food service will be provided by Tempestas Restaurant in our new venue at Best Western Keene. Facial coverings and proof of vaccination are required.
KJO is a 501c3 certified non-profit organization. Thank you for your support of live music! The Keene Jazz Orchestra is generously supported by the Barbara M. and Robert C. Cummings Fund for the Arts of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.
