The Jazz Composers' Showcase, vol. 10: Encore Performance

This Wednesday, November 29th, The Jazz Gallery is proud to present a special encore performance of our Jazz Composers' Showcase. Since the series's first performance in September 2014, the showcase has provided a special opportunity for up-and-coming and experienced composers alike to present works for large ensemble—an increasingly difficult endeavor in today's scene. Curated by composer Miho Hazama, the series has shown the incredible breadth of contemporary jazz composition for large ensemble.For this performance, the house large ensemble will present music by a number of the program's alumni: Ms. Hazama, Chris Zuar, Erica Seguine, Jon Schapiro, Martha Kato, Chuck Iwanusa, Michael Thomas, Andy Clausen, Jihye Lee, and Remy Le Boeuf.
