The GO Jazz Big Band under the direction of Brian Leff will explore the relationship between color and sound with
a special concert entitled “Spectrum” at the West Ranch High School Theater on Sunday, Nov. 18 starting at 3 p.m.
Featuring fantastic music from Count Basie, Soundgarden, Maria Schneider, Duke Ellington and many others, “Spectrum” will take full advantage of the theater’s lighting and sound to craft an unforgettable sonic and visual experience.
Songs will include jazz classics like “Blue Moon Yellow Days” and “Mood Indigo,” along with great settings of pop songs like “It Ain’t Easy Being Green” and “Black Hole Sun.”
Vocalist Steve Lively will return to sing songs made famous by Frank Sinatra and Paul Anka, and the band will burn its way through some great charts by Tom Kubis and Rob McConnell.
“Spectrum” is about tiny windows of wavelengths. In it lies everything we’ve ever seen, or ever will see. Sir Isaac Newton named it “the spectrum,” convinced the seven colors he saw were like notes on a musical scale.
General admission will be $10, seniors $5, and as always students will be free.
