The second Monday of every month!
The next show is 8/11 with Herb Bruce
Show starts at 7:30 pm

The Don Krekel Orchestra rides back into the Comedy Caravan Monday, August 11th. It’ll be almost a double concert with half the program devoted to the swinging music of Count Basie. You can’t hardly pat your foot “wrong” to Basie…. His stuff was always “in the pocket” as the musicians would say.

The other half of the program will feature the powerhouse sounds of the Stan Kenton Orchestra. Krekel promises he’s not gonna just tippy-toe around the swinging Kenton things, but will also air out some of the more ambitious numbers like “Malaguena” from Kenton’s “Adventures in Jazz” album, probably “Artemis and Apollo” from the “Adventures in Time” album, most likely “Somewhere” from Leonard Bernstein’s “West Side Story”. (With the likes of those demanding charts, we may just err on the safe side by having EMS stand by just in case the trumpet section needs a little extra oxygen!)

Special guest, Master trombonist Herb Bruce, (herbbruce.com) from Sarasota Fl will be back augmenting the trombone section.
