The fifteenth and final concert of the Twin Cities Jazz Society’s “Jazz from J to Z” 2007-08 concert series, presents the Century Jazz Ensemble, on Sunday, May 18. This annual Swing Into Spring event will kick off at 3 pm at the Century College Theatre. Century College is located at 3300 Century Ave. N., White Bear Lake, MN 55110. There will be a reception following the performance and as usual there is no admission charge!
The Century Jazz Ensemble has been around since 1981 and there are still a few original members in the group! The band was created by past director John Zdechlik as an outlet for Twin Cities musicians to continue beyond high school and college in a big band setting. Larry Neumann took over the directing duties in 1997 when Dr. Zdechlik retired. The CJE performs around the upper Midwest and has toured to South America and China. |
