Jazz Combo Band Performance

Out of Time, a band of Harvard University’s Jazz Combo Initiative students, performs a free concert on Friday, April 14. The performance is presented by Cambridge Arts; Central Square Business Improvement District; and the Dexter Gordon Centennial Project in celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month as well as the 100th birth-year and centennial anniversary of the life and legacy of tenor saxophonist, composer, bandleader and Academy Award-nominated actor Dexter Gordon. The performance also aims to help activate Cambridge businesses.

Out of Time is rooted in the swing and blues traditions, but also explores post-bop and modern funk, plus some original arrangements and compositions. Out of Time band director, jazz saxophonist Don Braden, will sit in with the band to celebrate the great Dexter Gordon. The performers are Don Braden (director, tenor sax and flute); Marc Courtemanche (bass); Caleb Fried (trumpet); Will Kissinger (piano); Jack Meyer (drums); and Robert Wachen (alto sax). Jamin Liu (alto sax) will perform with the band.
