David Hoffman will be doing something different for this program. It will be a surprise called “Life of a Groove”. David will present original music that draws from many idioms that have influenced him, including jazz, funk, r&b, ethnic and world music. He will be drawing on the unique talents of friends that play unusual instruments, or usual instruments in unusual ways. Those who have attended previous programs know how talented David is as a writer and as a performer. He has performed regularly with the Central Illinois Jazz Society House Band and as a guest performer. He is well recognized as an instructor and mentor for developing musicians. He also performed as an arranger and composer with the Ray Charles Orchestra throughout the world for more than 13 years.
The Illinois Central Jazz Train, directed by Larry Harms, will play during the first set. The Jazz Train is an Illinois Central College performing group, where they present two concerts per year. The Jazz Train includes some of the finest young and seasoned jazz musicians in Central Illinois. They have a big band sound with an extra kick.
