Swing-Era Big Band Performs at Church of the Good Shepherd near Lincoln Center on May 10, 2005, at 7:30pm.
Jazz Band Classic wraps up its third season with a peformance with clarinetist Victor Goines performing such Benny Goodman classics as “Let’s Dance," “Don’t Be That Way," “Sing, Sing, Sing," and “Stompin' at the Savoy" on Tuesday, May 10, 2005, at 7:30pm. Led by trombonist Ryan Keberle, this 16-member ensemble specializes in swing band music of the post-war era, and will be performing at the Church of the Good Shepherd at 152 West 66th Street, just west of Broadway.
Clarinetist Victor Goines is a member of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, as well as Education Consultant for Jazz at Lincoln Center and Director of Juilliard’s Jazz Studies Program. Mr. Goines has performed and recorded with many of today's jazz greats, including Wynton and Ellis Marsalis, Lionel Hampton, Terence Blanchard, James Moody, and Dianne Reeves, among others. He has also released three albums as a bandleader: To Those We Love So Dearly, Joe's Blues, and Genesis.
Jazz Band Classic director and trombonist Ryan Keberle has performed with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Frank Wess, Jimmy Heath, Slide Hampton, and Joe Lovano, among others. He was a semifinalist for the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Trombone Competition, and he has performed on NBC television with the band of Saturday Night Live.

Jazz Band Classic, modeled on the big bands of the 1930's and 40's, re-invigorates the vanishing big band arrangements of the great exponents of jazz. Jazz Band Classic showcases New York City’s best young jazz talent in performances of traditional big band music along with the stylizations of the current jazz idiom.
