Danny Jonokuchi & Christian Wiggs with the CRJO: Past Is Present

($25-$35 tickets | 7pm & 8:30pm sets) The 17-piece Century Room Jazz Orchestra expands to 19 for this special event with the addition of trumpeter/arranger/conductor Danny Jonokuchi & vocalist Andrew Wiggs!

Danny last performed in Tucson while touring his previous big band album “Voices,” but he has since released TWO more big band albums, “Past Is Present” and “A Decade”. For this show, Danny is joining forces with vocalist Christian Wiggs, featuring him on his original arrangements of classic jazz standards like “This Can’t Be Love”, “Skylark” and more. An emerging polymath in the music industry, Christian Wiggs is a vocalist, bandleader, lyricist, producer, director, artist manager, educator, record label executive, podcast host and founder of Bandstand Presents. His most recent project is hosting “Jazz Tonight,” a new program on Austin PBS. Inspired by the Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, the 17-piece CRJO performs classic big band repertoire every Monday night at the Century Room starting at 7pm. Expect music from the Count Basie Orchestra, Duke Ellington Orchestra, the Thad Jones/Mel Louis Jazz Orchestra and much more!
