Musical Style: Big Band Jazz - A Tribute to Woody HermanWoody Herman, born Woodrow Charles Herman on May 16, 1913, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was an American jazz clarinetist, saxophonist, singer, and big band leader. His father’s love for show business influenced him from an early age, leading him to perform as a singer and tap dancer in vaudeville by age six. Herman began playing the clarinet and saxophone at 12 and joined his first band, the Tom Gerun band, in 1931.&nbsp;He led several successful bands known as “The Herd,” which were known for their cutting-edge and experimental music. Herman was active in the music scene from the late 1930s until his death on October 29, 1987, in West Hollywood, California. His bands received numerous Grammy nominations, and he won a Grammy for Best Jazz Performance – Large Group in 1963 for “Encore: Woody Herman, 1963.”"The Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra is an 18-piece "big band" featuring contemporary big-band jazz played by some of Denver’s finest jazz musicians. Their selections are never predictable, always hold your interest, and blow you away with intensity and excitement. The MJO considers the audience as an integral part of the show so expect “stories,” humor, scary-good charts, and a very enjoyable evening!"Director (Co-leader) – Jim MickTrumpets – Scott Handler (Co-leader), Dave Froman, Doug Barta, Mark IbsenTrombones – Kevin Buchanan (Co-leader), Ron Argotsinger, Rob Olds, Kiel LauerSaxes – Zack Cassell, Paul Farus, Sam Hesch, Adam Bell, Chris WojteckiRhythm – Jason Malmberg, Ian Spillman, Ron Jolly, Clint DadianAND Make any night special with our Date Night Package. $45 for a delightful bottle of wine and a decadent dessert to share.
