About the event

Fox Big Band plays Basie at Birdland at the Ironwood
🎺 Fox Big Band Presents: Basie at Birdland
🗓 Saturday, October 11 | 🕑 2:00 PM | 📍 The Ironwood
Step into the legendary Basie Big Band era with the Fox Big Band as they pay tribute to one of jazz’s most electrifying live recordings: Basie at Birdland. Recorded over two nights in June 1961 at New York’s iconic Birdland club, Basie at Birdland captured the Count Basie Orchestra at the height of its powers. The album is a masterclass in dynamic ensemble playing, and critics have praised it as one of Basie’s most enjoyable live recordings, showcasing his unmatched ability to drive a band with clarity and swing.
The Count Basie Orchestra became a cornerstone of American jazz. Known for its tight arrangements, powerful brass sections, and a rhythm unit that set the standard for generations, the band featured some of the greatest soloists in jazz history.
Fox Big Band brings that same spirit to life. Whether you're a longtime jazz fan or new to the genre, this afternoon concert promises to be a celebration of timeless music, rich in rhythm and full of character.
Reservations 403-269-5581. Cover $35.
