CFCArts Big Band Presents

Hand-Drawn Jazz

From The Jetsons to The Simpsons… From The Incredibles to Cowboy Bepop… For as long as animators have been bringing stories and characters vibrantly to life, they have looked to innovative jazz composers to lend a sense of energy, improvisation, and unexpected whimsy to their creations. Why do these two colorful and kinetic art forms have so much in common? Join us for Hand-Drawn Jazz to find out!

Featuring over 30 incredibly talented local musicians in the CFCArts Big Band, Hand-Drawn Jazz will be an exploration and a celebration of the intersection of jazz and animation. With music from so many of your favorites like The Pink Panther, Toy Story, Looney Tunes, The Lion King, The Jungle Book, Aladdin, and Encanto, this will be a family-friendly concert experience full of great music, lots of laughter, and even a few creative surprises.

Don’t miss the biggest, baddest Big Band in town as they perform music from your favorite cartoons and animated movies as you’ve never heard them before!
