Boasting some of America’s most accomplished musicians (past and present members have performed with the likes of Count Basie, Buddy Rich, and the Glenn Miller Orchestra), this top-flight jazz ensemble from America’s preeminent military academy performs big band standards and originals in a range of styles from swing to modern with thrilling finesse. Taking center stage is acclaimed singer Alexis Cole, whom WNYC has called “one of the great voices of today.”
