Join us as the Otsego Jazz Ensemble plays a free concert with Plainwell Jazz Band on Tuesday, January 30 at 7PM at the Plainwell Performing Arts Center.
The Otsego Jazz Ensemble (OJE) with Kalamazoo vocalist Lana Hoffman will bring their hi-powered mix of jazz, rock, pop, latin and standards to the Plainwell Performing Arts Center for a FREE concert on Tuesday, January 30th at 7pm. The 18-piece band is fresh off a highly acclaimed performance at the Kalamazoo New Years Festival. The group formed in 1986, rehearsing in Otsego, a central meeting point for musicians who drive to weekly rehearsals from Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and Holland.
OJE will be sharing the stage with the PHS Jazz Band, under the direction of David Hepinstall. PHS will start the program. OJE will play a set, and will be inviting some members of the PHS band to “sit in." Both bands will combine on stage for a final number, Duke Ellington’s "Don’t Get Around Much Anymore."
