Noon Hour Concert: The Three Tenors
No, not those three tenors, but our own instrumental version. This concert will feature the musical legacy of Tenor Saxophonists: Jimmy Heath, Hank Mobley, and Stan Getz.
Presented by Michael Wood on the Vibraphone, Ernie Kalwa on Tenor Saxophone, and Bassist Greg Prior.
The UWaterloo Jazz Ensemble will perform a mix of jazz standards from Gordon Goodwin, Count Basie, Wayne Shorter, Duke Ellington, and more. Directed by well know percussionist Michael Wood, the ensemble consists of 15 UW jazz aficionados. 
This concert will feature an eclectic mix of music by Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, and Monk. Performers Michael Wood on vibes/percussion, Steve Clark on bass, and Rob LaRose on percussion have a wealth of experience between them.
This concert is dedicated to the female singers and singer-songwriters who have been influential both to Joni NehRita and I as artists, but also to the culture at large. For Joni and I, as female leaders in this music business, paying tribute the female musical heroes who have come before us is both an honour, and feels extremely important and relevant in this current awakening of women's voices, with #metoo and #timesup.
Featuring singer Mary-Catherine Pazzano and pianist Paul Stouffer, the program will be a jazzy exploration of Bernstein's iconic West Side Story, while also delving into his various musicals (On the Town, Wonderful Town), and classical works as well such as MASS, Peter Pan, and Candide.
