Wed 9 May – DVC Night Jazz Band, Jazz Ensemble w/ special guest Guitarist Grant Geissman
I attended the concert on May 9th, 2007 at 8 PM at the DVC Performing Arts Center. The DVC Jazz Ensemble and DVC Night Jazz Band were performing with special guest artist, Grant Geissman. The music consisted of a variety of jazz styles including swing, straight ahead, Latin, soul and blues. Both groups were forms of big bands with a woodwind section, trumpet section, trombone section and a rhythm section of piano, guitar, bass and drums. Grant Geissman performed with the bands on a few songs, playing guitar and adding vocals.
The DVC Jazz Ensemble had a pretty good performance with many high points and a few mediocre points. The songs choices were a good variety and were performed well and were quite entertaining. I really enjoyed the bass solo by Scott Colberg during Booke Ends, though the rest of the band seemed like it was not completely warmed up yet and they all seemed very stiff. …
