The JC Hopkins Biggish Band includes New York's best working jazz musicians from both the uptown Harlem and downtown East Village jazz scenes. Guitarist Liberty Ellman, a composer in his own right, works regularly with musicians Steve Coleman, Steven Bernstein, and Greg Osby.

The diversity of each player's influence will converge at the Fez on Monday night to create an exciting evening of original big-band jazz.
