Friday Afternoon Concert: Flatirons Jazz Orchestra
Friday, Dec. 12 · 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm Longmont Museum 400 Quail Rd., Longmont, CO 80501
Enjoy an afternoon of live music in our Stewart Auditorium this fall featuring an eclectic array of musical acts from up and down the Front Range.
Join us as we go back in time and enjoy a swinging afternoon with this traditional 18-piece big band that authentically recreates the romance and excitement of the Swing era. Led by vocalist Deborah Stafford, the Flatirons Jazz Orchestra has been hailed as “one of the 10 Best Jazz Bands in Colorado” by The Denver Post.
The Flatirons Jazz Orchestra is a traditional 18-piece big band; 5 saxes, 4 trombones, 4 trumpets, piano, guitar, bass, drums, and one of the finest jazz singers in the country, Deborah Stafford. Nothing beats the romance and excitement of the Big Bands. We authentically recreate the great Swing-Era music of Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Stan Kenton, Gene Krupa, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Diane Schuur, Buddy Rich, and more. Our ultimate goal of to have fun, because that great satisfaction comes from creating great art. And when the people are dancing and clapping and cheering us on, it just doesn’t get any better than that.
