Good Heavens! It's August already and the first Tuesday of the month being tomorrow means the Bill Simenson Orchestra will be presenting their regular performance of original music for big band (aka jazz orchestra). We have well over 100 pieces in our library in a variety of moods and styles and we hope you'll come down to hear something that will strike your fancy. We'll be at Jazz Central Studios (407 Central SE in Mpls) as usual, downbeat is at 8:30 pm, and we'll wrap up at 10:30 pm. Two sets.
Reeds - Pete Whitman, Brian Handeland,Joe Mayo, Scott Johnson, Gus Sandberg. Trumpets - Riley Helgeson, Bill Simenson, Miych Van Laar, David Kaiser. Trombones - Pete Enblom, Nick Syman, Matt Hanzelka, Zach Marley. Rhythm - Chris Olson, Ted Godbout, Callum Schultz, Dave Schmalenberger.

As usual, I'll have CDs and download cards of our 2017 release, "Big Alpaca," available for sale. If you already have a copy, or if you've heard a tune on KBEM that you enjoyed we'd be happy to play it for you. CDs and downloads are also available at Bandcamp (
