There are a few links below if you would like to listen to some of the music of these amazing artists before the concert. We look forward to sharing our brand new arrangements of this classic music with you!

"I'm excited to perform music of two of my favourite Alto players, Cannonball, and Paul Desmond (from Dave Brubeck's Quartet). I am also proud of, and impressed with the musicianship of the CJO and the way we as a group, and the arrangements we produce have evolved over these last 9 years"
                            -Gerry Hebert, lead alto saxophone for the CJO

(born December 6, 1920) is an American jazz pianist. He has written a number of jazz standards, including "In Your Own Sweet Way" and "The Duke". Brubeck's style ranges from refined to bombastic, reflecting his mother's attempts at classical training and his improvisational skills. His music is known for employing unusual time signatures, and superimposing contrasting rhythms, meters, and tonalities.
