The 10-piece Jazz Lab Band performs selections from the award-winning album, “Open Borders,” recorded by their director, Professor Earl MacDonald. The album earned MacDonald the distinction of Jazz Music Producer of the Year at the 2019 Independent Music Awards in New York City.
The music is orchestrated for 2 trumpets, French Horn, trombones, 3 saxophones, piano, bass and drums. The ensemble will be joined by student vocalist, Jocelyn Hoagland for a performance of “East of the Sun,” arranged by MacDonald.
