New York jazz musicians, Quinsin Nachoff and Tim Hagans will be visiting Kingston at the end of September to collaborate with local musician Greg Runions and his big band.
This project is a concert production of new works for big band created by Greg Runions and Quinsin Nachof plus previously written works by Dave Barton, John MacLeod and Tim Hagans. The new works include a major work commissioned by the Greg Runions Big Band that will be composed by Quinsin Nachoff for this particular ensemble plus three of his works that have been arranged by band members Dave Barton, Taylor Donaldson and Greg Runions. The new works will be created over the summer of 2010, rehearsed during August/September of 2010 and presented in Kingston by the Greg Runions Big Band at the Octave Theatre.
