| Guest Artist Jazz Concert
Took place April 13, 7:00 p.m.
The Jazz Ensemble performed three new works we commissioned this year. In addition, they were joined in performance by Jazz Trumpeter and recording artist Jeff Bunnell. Jeff plays with the Tom Kubis big band. He has an impressive studio resume that includes about 25% of the movies, t.v. shows, and commercials you have seen in recent years. Joining us is saxophonist Mary Fettig. Mary has an incredible resume of jazz work, including playing with the Stan Kenton Band.
Our last guest artist is Frank Sumares. Frank is a local jazz piano player and teacher. He is currently teaching at San Jose State, and a fixture in the Bay Area Music scene. He has an impressive resume that includes musical director for the Count Basie Band. Frank just received the California Jazz Educator of the year award. He comes into Moreau several times a year to work with the jazz ensemble.
Several students that have been the cornerstone of the jazz ensemble for the last three years will be playing their last concert at Moreau Catholic. This includes Albert Baliwas, who made the state honor jazz band for the second time, as one of only two alto saxes chosen in the state of California. Albert was also a finalist last year for the National Grammy
Band.
