Sometimes you don’t need a holiday or a headline to celebrate. Sometimes, it might as well be spring.
So says the Go Jazz Big Band, which is scheduled to perform a spring-themed afternoon of high-energy big-band jazz at The Main in Old Town Newhall at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 4.
“From swinging standards to bold contemporary charts, the band brings its signature power, precision and punch to an intimate setting that puts you right in the middle of the sound,” said a news release from the band.
Along the way, the program tips its hat to a few jazz legends celebrating their centennial year, as well as honoring some towering musical voices recently lost, including Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Tony Bennett, Chuck Mangione and Gordon Goodwin.
Vocalist Steve Lively joins the Go Jazz Big Band, under the direction of Brian Leff, for featured selections drawn from the Great American Songbook.
Tickets ($25) are available at GoJazzBigBand.com. The Main is located at 24266 Main St., Newhall.
