The Peninsula College Jazz Ensemble invites community members of all ages to two free concerts this fall. Both concerts take place at the Port Angeles campus of Peninsula College at 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd.

Listen to “Jazz in the PUB” over lunch starting at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 30. Bring a lunch or purchase a meal from the college’s Market & Deli.

A second event, “Fall Jazz Concert,” is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 5, in the Maier Performance Hall.

“I’m excited to present a full big band performing a wide variety of jazz from Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and Count Basie to contemporary compositions by Pat Metheny, Maria Schneider, and Portland composer Jessika Smith,” said Marge Rosen, the ensemble’s new director.

Performers are from across the North Olympic Peninsula. The 16-piece big band features freshman Avery Saul of Port Angeles singing an arrangement of the famous Frank Sinatra tune “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” a popular cha-cha “Sway,” and other picks from the Great American Songbook.

Robbin Eaves of Joyce will sing the classic “Why Don’t You Do Right” and a holiday favorite.

Ensemble players from Sequim include John Wethrill on piano, Kendall Melton on bass, Jayne Morrison on alto sax, Jeff Fox and Andy Geiger on tenor sax, Anton Hilmisson on baritone sax, Dan James on trumpet, and Jeff Dingle, Savana Hickman, and Tom Hartig on trombone.

From Port Angeles are Jim Bradbury, Nancy McPherson, and Larry Madsen on trumpet and conductor Rosen on drums. John Adams on alto sax and Dan Powell on trombone commute from the Port Townsend area.
