Jazz Composers Orchestra in Concert

Jazz Composers Orchestra in Concert

The Jazz Composers Orchestra will perform its final concert of the year on Monday, December 3, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater.

Fans of the “JCO” know the band for its adventurous and original music. This season’s concert continues that tradition, with original compositions from Joe Lewis and Mike Dana, some new settings of holiday favorites, a gospel-tinged Yellowjackets tune, and much more.

The Jazz Composers Orchestra is an all-star 19-piece ensemble with a roster that reads like a “who’s who” of jazz in the Valley. Members include music faculty at FCC, CSU Fresno, and many other valley schools. All play professionally as well, and have performed with an impressive lineup of jazz and pop artists.

Tickets are priced at $20/general, $17/seniors or JazzFresno members, and $12/students. They are available at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater box office (559) 266-9494. Advance ticket purchases are highly recommended. Dinner and appetizers will be available for purchase from 6:00 p.m.
