The Carleton College Jazz Ensembles will perform their fall concert on Sunday, November 1 at 3 p.m. in the Carleton College Concert Hall. The program will feature music ranging from the Big band era to modern compositions. This event is free and open to the public.

The concert will be directed by Carleton College senior lecturer in jazz and blues guitar, David Singley. The Jazz Ensemble will perform, among other pieces, “Some Kind a Blue” by saxophonist Ernie Watts, “Three 4 Bea” by trombonist and University of Minnesota faculty member Dean Sorenson, “Groovin' High” by the late, legendary bebop trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and “Li'l Darlin’” by jazz trumpeter Neal Hefti.
