Mitchell Bailey Octet

Saturday - January, 22 @ 10:00pm

The Mitchell Bailey Octet is a genre-blurring jazz octet that aims to showcase many of Northern New England’s finest improvising musicians in a dynamic and spontaneous little-big-band. As an eight-piece ensemble (five horns and rhythm section), the band captures the power of a big band, along with the intimacy and spontaneity of a small ensemble. The night will feature original music by bandleader/trombonist Mitchell Bailey, along with arrangements of music by Wayne Shorter, Alan Ferber, Chris Cornell and more. We hope to both present original takes on classic works of the jazz cannon, as well as celebrate musical contributions from a wide array of contemporary artists.
