CB Jazz - Cool Band Jazz in Utah
Cool Band Jazz is a unique blend of musician talent. CB Jazz, as we know it today,
has been playing "Big Band Swing" for many years, several members
played in bands in California, Utah, Idaho, and even Chicago.
They all tell similar stories of playing in school and community bands when
they were young. This love of music and playing band intruments has led to
the creation of CB jazz or Cool Band Jazz.
CB Jazz is Dedicated to preserving the
community band movement, especially in the big band era. It started in the
1930's and even today many composers are writing great music for schools,
community, and professional big bands. Some members of CB Jazz are professional
band directors and others are some of Utah's finest musicians.
CB Jazz includes a diverse assortment of
musicians that played in bands in the 40's, to young members still attending
college. This love of music continues to be a driving force in playing and
performing with CB Jazz. Each member feels a sense of pride and achievement
in performing and giving back to the communities in which they reside.
