The Brockport Big Band will play in the Xerox International Jazz Festival on June 26 at 6 p.m. in the big tent for the seventh year. This is a free concert and the band hopes residents from the area will come out and hear some big band music. The band will play two pieces by Sammy Nestico, writer and arranger for the Count Basie band, a Duke Ellington tune, a hit made famous by Nate King Cole, and Herbie Hankock’s Maiden Voyage, a classic in jazz repertoire, and many more tunes. This local band directed by Walt Perkins has been swinging for the past 12 years. They plan several other performances this summer.
