Ensembles - Famous Jazz Orchestra
The Famous Jazz Orchestra takes it place as one of the recent "Young Blood" big bands on the Columbus scene, and boasts a roster of some of the brightest and best players the community has to offer.
Sporting a 12-piece brass section (including french horns and tuba), the orchestra's repertoire is selected from the post-bop libraries of Woody Herman, Count Basie, Stan Kenton, and others.
Vaughn Wiester, director, brings a lifetime of experience to his performances, including theCapital University Orchestra, Dave Workman Blues Band, Terry Waldo Ragtime Orchestra, and the Woody Herman Orchestra. His passion is to study the music of great composers and arrangers, and to present that music at every opportunity.
Famous Jazz Orchestra appears every Monday at the charming Columbus Music Hall, a renovated 100-year old firehouse on Oak Street at Parsons Avenue. All are welcome.
