An Evening of Jazz

The Buzzards Bay Musicfest continues its five-concert series with performances throughout the week of July 15 to July 19. On Friday, July 17, the Buzzards Bay Musicfest Swing Band will delve into Music from the Movies with a sampling of compositions from the pens of some of the elite Hollywood composers. The nine piece “little big band” will offer selections that demonstrate the varied approaches to songs from the feature films “A Rainy Day in New York”, “On Green Dolphin Street”, “Midnight in Paris”, “The Wizard of Oz” and many more. The arrangements will present the music with a tasteful combination of well-voiced ensemble passages and improvised solos. The Buzzards Bay Musicfest Swing Band is comprised of some of the finest jazz musicians in New England. Since its inception in 2017, the BBMF Swing Band has performed at each festival to enthusiastic audiences with programs that have been well-received. The concert begins at 7:30 pm in the Fireman Performing Arts Center on the campus of Tabor Academy, 245 Front St., Marion, MA 02738. All of the concerts for the Buzzards Bay Musicfest are free admission. Please visit www.buzzardsbaymusicfest.com/ for more detailed information.
