festive jazz

There's nothing like the magic of an orchestra or the swinging soul of jazz, especially during the holiday season! Join the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra and very special guests as they usher in the holidays with a smorgasbord of jazzed-up holiday favorites. Playing classic festive fancies and carols rearranged into the style of the greatest bandleaders in jazz history, this extravaganza will bring a smile to everyone - even the biggest Scrooge you know!

While the exact set list is yet to be announced, expect a joyous performance reminiscent of Count Basie's classic Christmas album A Very Swingin' Basie Christmas!, or fellow jazz great Duke Ellington's Christmas offerings, such as his rework of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite.
