An Evening With The Cartoon Jazz Orchestra

Yikes! Foiled again! If you were among the millions of little and big kids who grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons, Jeff Sanford's Cartoon Jazz Orchestra will bring back memories by the truckload. The music that accompanied Mickey, Minnie, Bugs, Daffy, Woody, Rocky, Bullwinkle, and their fine-feathered friends provided a special soundtrack for many people's young lives.

The Cartoon Jazz Orchestra is a sixteen-member jazz ensemble made up of some of the Bay Area's top professional musicians,… Show more who play a veritable children's zoo of instruments. Much of the Cartoon Jazz Orchestra repertoire was composed by the great 20th century composer Raymond Scott. Lenny Carlson's "Aluminum Sunset: A Tribute to the Music of Raymond Scott" is a three-movement suite written in honor of Scott's innovative and fun music, which also happens to be very difficult to execute.

This event will be held in Oak Lounge of the Tresidder Student Union on campus.
