Returning to Albuquerque!
Saturday, June 26—Rob Mullins, also appearing, the NMJW Alumni Honor Band, under the direction of Ed Ulman
A big thanks to the folks at the New Mexico Jazz Workshop for putting this great musical event together. Past Honor Jazz Ensemble students will return to Albuquerque, New Mexico for this reunion concert. Many of the students who cut their jazz teeth as Honor Jazz Ensemble members are being invited to come back and demostrate their current musical skills. The amazing L.A. jazz pianist and composer Rob Mullins will also be featured. I'm really looking forward to returning to the beautiful Albuquerque Museum Amphitheater and seeing all of my wonderful jazz, blues and salsa musical friends. The 18-20 piece big band will perform several Ulman originals and arrangements.
