Led by Professor Craig Bailey, the CCM Jazz Lab Big Band is a 17-20 member ensemble that performs a wide variety of styles from historical swing, bebop, post-bop, fusion, and Latin to avant-garde. Special emphasis is placed on the idiom's great art-music composers, such as Thad Jones, Bill Holman, Bob Brookmeyer, and Maria Schneider, and historic re-creations such as Ellington, Basie, Herman, and Kenton. A $15 drink/food minimum is charged per person in the party, per set, if the total for beverages purchased by the party does not meet the minimum. Important Notices: If you do not check in by 15 minutes into the start of the set, we reserve the right to resale your seats with no refund. Refunds must be requested 24 hours before the start of the performance.
