Big Band Blowout Concert with Guest Musician, Sherman Irby May 2023
Esperanza Jazz thrilled to host the 2023 Big Band Blowout concert featuring Sherman Irby this May at the District PAC.
Anaheim, CA, May 18, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Esperanza Jazz is thrilled to welcome Big Band Blowout guest artist, Alto saxophonist and composer, Sherman Irby.
Sherman Irby connected with the fertile and vital scene at Smalls in New York, where he was a regular in the 90's. Here Sherman caught the attention of Blue Note Records. Presently, Sherman has rejoined the newly renamed Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. Sherman, along with most members of the orchestra, has arranged much of the vast library of music that they have performed over the past 16 years.
Big Band Blowout is the collaborative concert featuring Esperanza High School and Bernardo Yorba Middle School Jazz Bands playing alongside a professional musician as guest artist. The professional artist mentor provides master class preparation with the students in advance of the concert with enriching improvisation and big band music techniques. The majority of the tunes were arranged by Irby himself and lend to the professionalism expected of the accompanying young musicians.
"The concert supports EEU’s education focus on the benefit of performance opportunities," said Mr Davis, "and is just more fun than we should be allowed."
