Experience the music of Big Bop Nouveau, a band that formed in the late 1980s by the late jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson. Originally comprised of four trumpets, two trombones, and four saxophones, plus a rhythm section (plus Maynard), it was later reduced to what has become known as the "pocket big band" format, consisting of three trumpets, two saxophones, a trombone, and rhythm section. Selections will include "Birdland," "Caravan," and "A Night in Tunisia."
