Nanaimo Musicians Association Big Band (NMA)
Sunday November 2nd, doors 5pm, jaaaazzzzz 6-8pm
 
The NMA has been thrilling discerning jazz lovers since 1967, featuring some of the best soloists on the Island.  Pursuing the craft of jazz is the main glue that binds us. But, of course, it’s our audiences – whether they are dancers or listeners – that push us to get our hands on new (and often challenging!) charts. This concert will be no different: we’re excited to bring you the best of the old along with swinging modern charts and familiar vocal tunes. 
 
During its 57 years, the band has given emerging talents their first step up to the professional scene and awarded tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships.
 
A few of the band’s celebrated alumni are Diana Krall, Phil Dwyer, and Ingrid and Christine Jensen. More recently, saxophonist Connor Stewart, now in New Orleans and trumpeter Jon Bauer, now in England left us to pursue careers in New Orleans and tour the world. 
 
Joining us this evening as well will be our very talented singer, Tasha Adams. 
So, come and celebrate Big Band music with us! We promise it’ll be a swinging evening.
