the Buselli-Wallarab Jazz Orchestra Perform The Gennett Suite at Jazz Kitchen

The Buselli-Wallarab Jazz Orchestra makes an overdue return to the Jazz Kitchen with the world premier LIVE concert of Brent Wallarab's The Gennet Suite. The 4 movement, 1 hour 20 minute long jazz suite is a tribute to Richmond, Indiana's Gennett Records and the jazz greats that recorded there in the 1920s: King Oliver, Jelly Roll, Hoagy, Bix, and Louis.

Wallarab's composition takes these songs, expands them to a 17 piece jazz orchestra, and gives them a modern, fresh twist while remaining true to their original nature...
