Joe recorded ORANCE COLORED SKY CD with the TJI Ellington Big Band back in 2019 - CDs are still available and make a great holiday gift - even in the NEW YEAR! $10 / pick them up at the concert.
Watching and listening to swinging big band music (by young extremely talented jazzers) and the vocals of Joe Bourne is the PERFECT WAY to start the NEW YEAR because the celebration needs to continue .... the happy endorphins need to be stimulated to keep the 'heart-felt great feeling' continue throughout 2026.
The Tucson Jazz Music Foundation will be present to accept donations in support of TJI students. There are SEVEN scholarship students in this school year's Ellington band. Your support is needed and greatly appreciated. Online donations are accepted on the Foundation's website:
