sidewinder Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Just noticed that the LA Jazz Institute were hosting this event at the LAX Marriott over May 26th-29th: Big Band Olympics Looks like some great stuff on there. Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin Big Band, Dusko Goykovich Big Band, Arturo Sandoval, Bill Holman Big Band and a Valery Ponomarev Blakey Big Band Tribute. Plus a Clarke/Boland Big Band tribute.. Anyone on the Board planning on going? Edited March 16, 2011 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Wish I could, it sounds like fun. I'll be interested to hear how many of the bands had the same LA players in them. I'm sure many will be doing double, triple, quadruple etc. duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Any advance word on who's lighting the torch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeCity Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Was talking with Bobby Shew the other day and sounds like he's heading out for that to play in the Toshiko/Lew Reunion band.

jazzkrow Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm tempted to go.. Most of the band members will be LA guys.. But would be great to see Dusko, Basso, and Ponamarev tribute to Blakey.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
