Chequamegon Bay Jazz Collective | Big Band Swing
August 2 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm
The Chequamegon Bay Jazz Collective is a Big Band that is in its fifth year of functioning. The group was founded in 2021 by music director Brett Hulmer in collaboration with his music educator extraodinaire mother, Christine Hulmer. The idea was that we certainly could fill a full functioning big band with entirely area musicians. And that this band would function strictly for use of live performance, community engagement, and music education.
Keeping jazz alive through collaboration, the group consits of many area music educators, local performers as well as former music students of our very own band members. Musical selections range from classic swing dance tunes, to contemporary big band charts. Since the groups inception they have been fortunate enough to be paired with touring regional acts, such as opening for Michael Perry and the Longbeds last summer.
