KU to Hold 17th Annual Big Band Bash on Nov. 8

The Big Band Bash will feature selections from the era when swing was king. KU's award-winning Jazz Ensembles I and II will pair off for an old-fashioned battle of the bands, performing the music of Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and many more.
Listen to the concert in a cabaret-styled atmosphere and, if you're inclined, dance the night away to the music.
