Read details about the program below:
Midriff is a Billy Strayhorn composition written for the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Features Lily Storseth on trombone, Tyler Endsley on bass, and Via Storms on drums.

In the Mountains of Georgia is composed by the Russian bandleader Oleg Lundstrem, based on a folk song from the Republic of Georgia called "Didavoi nana". Features Mathias Severn on tenor sax.

The Old Beelzebub Blues is part tribute, part parody of 1920s jazz composed by Larry Dwyer. Features Dylan Westfall on banjo, Nate Heron on trombone, Max Modine on Eb clarinet and Silas Bohen on piano.

New Orleans Strut was composed by Jack DeJohnette and arranged by Bob Washut. DeJohnette was one of the most significant jazz drummers of the last 60 years, having made important contributions to the groups of Charles Lloyd, Bill Evans, Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett, and many more. He was also a fine pianist and composer and recorded a number of albums of his own music, which encompassed jazz, rock, funk, world music, and more. "New Orleans Strut" is a funk tune from his great 1984 album called Album Album and we will play it in tribute to DeJohnette, who died in October. Features solos by True Laboissonniere on alto sax and Mathias Severn on tenor sax.

Spherical is composed by Michael Brecker and arranged by Jamie Roth. Brecker, the most influential tenor saxophonist since John Coltrane, wrote this for the 1992 album Return of the Brecker Brothers. Michael's trumpet-playing brother Randy thought that some of the rhythmic ideas in the tune were reminiscent of Thelonious Sphere Monk's music, which inspired the title. Solos by Angelo Bernardi on trumpet and Mathias Severn on tenor sax.

Hackensack was composed by Thelonious Monk and arranged by Miho Hazama. The tune is named after the New Jersey city where the legendary recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder's parents lived. Van Gelder used the living room of his parents' house as a recording studio from 1946-1959, and countless jazz recordings were made there, including Monk's first recording of this tune. Features solos by True Laboissonniere on alto sax and Dylan Westfall on guitar.

Dance You Monster to My Soft Song, composed by Maria Schneider for her debut album Evanescence, was released in 1994. Schneider is the most influential composer of music for large jazz ensemble of the last 30 years. She is an NEA Jazz Master and a multiple Grammy winner. Solos on this by Mathias Severn on tenor sax and Hayden Hickcox on trumpet. 

Avenue C was composed by Buck Clayton in the mid-1940s for the "Old Testament" Count Basie Orchestra. The arrangement we are playing was written by Frank Foster for the "New Testament" Count Basie Orchestra's 1961 retrospective album The Count Basie Story. Features solos by Silas Bohen on piano, Raymond Endert on trombone, Max Modine and Mathias Severn on tenor sax, Andrew Reynolds on trumpet and Via Storms on drums.

Boogie Stop Shuffle is a Charles Mingus composition recorded on his great 1959 album Mingus Ah Um. Arranged for big band by Andrew Homzy. Solos by True Laboissonniere on alto sax, Silas Bohen on piano, and Via Storms on drums.
