February 15 @ 7 p.m. | The Redmoor Enigmatic saxophonist Wayne Shorter firmly engraved his own likeness into the Mount Rushmore of Jazz’s greatest composers. After an incredible 60+ year career where he played with bands from Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers to Weather Report, we lost one of the most important tenor saxophonists of his generation with Wayne’s passing in 2023. Cincinnati’s tenor saxophone powerhouse Rick VanMatre takes the Redmoor stage with the CCJO big band to pay tribute to this grandmaster who left us with beautiful tunes like “Infant Eyes,” “Black Nile,” “Footprints” and more. |

March 21 @ 7 p.m. | The Redmoor Relive the sounds that delighted a generation! From popular bands’ acts such as Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Rich, and Woody Herman who adapted to the times by infusing rock and fusion into their charts—to relative newcomers such as Don Ellis, Rob McConnell, and Toshiko Akiyoshi who pushed the music forward – the 1970s and ‘80s were a rich and vibrant time for big band jazz. CCJO brings the spirit of the time back to life by performing some of these artists’ most beloved works. |
