Randy Brecker with the Wp Jazz Orchestra Directed by David Demsey

× Legendary trumpeter Randy Brecker combines forces with the powerful WP Jazz Orchestra. The concert will feature music spanning Brecker’s well-known career, which includes his virtuoso playing on bebop, standards, funk, and R&B from the historic Brecker Brothers repertoire with his late brother, master saxophonist Michael Brecker, whose archive is housed on campus. This concert will feature premieres of two new arrangements of Brecker originals by WP graduate arranging students, and new arrangements from Brecker’s recent CD with the Hamburg Radio Jazz Orchestra. The concert is certain to be memorable, with Brecker’s long association with the WP students and our program.
