TJBC Faculty Band Feat. Bill Evans (Sax)

Fri, Jun 20

Join us for a live taping and listening-room concert for TJBC Faculty Band Feat. Bill Evans (Sax)! Benefiting Underserved Kids with Music Scholarships, this performance is not to be missed! Bill Evans - Saxophone Red Young - organ Chris McQueen - guitar John Fremgen - bass Tom Brechtlein - drums About Bill Evans: Saxophonist, vocalist, and producer Bill Evans first hit the global stage at age 21 with Miles Davis, recording six albums and launching a decades-spanning career alongside legends like Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin, and Mick Jagger. With 27 solo albums, multiple Grammy nominations, and a fearless embrace of genre-crossing innovation—from his jazz-Americana fusion Soulgrass to his electrifying VansBand Allstars—Evans has consistently redefined modern jazz. His latest release, Who I Am, features a powerhouse lineup including Béla Fleck, Victor Wooten, and John Medeski, blending virtuosic improvisation with deeply personal songwriting that reflects a lifetime of musical exploration and evolution. About The Texas Jazz & Blues Camp: Texas Jazz & Blues Camp, (a program of New School of Music, Austin) is an all-embracing program focused on musical and personal growth where our students can learn by hearing the greats on our staff and each other. While the commitment to the music is at the highest level, the program is not competitive. There is no pre-audition required. We listen to you when you arrive and assign you to a combo at your own level. TJBC is hosted each June on the beautiful St. Stephens Episcopal School campus, and offers day camp and residential camp options.
