The Estes Park Jazz Big Band will present an evening concert on Sunday, July 20 starting at 7:00 pm. The free concert will be held at Hyde Chapel, YMCA of the Rockies.

Chuck Varilek will direct the local jazz band, which is in its 34th year of providing music for Estes Park residents and visitors.

Featured vocalists for this concert will be Dr. Cory Workman, who will sing “Beyond The Sea” and Nelson Burke, who will sing “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” from “Toy Story.”

The Big Band will perform big band-era standards, including “Bye Bye Blackbird,” “Pennsylvania 6-5000,” “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore,” and “This Can’t Be Love.” The band will also perform several other songs in a variety of styles.

Since the concert is just a couple of weeks past July 4th, the Jazz Big Band will perform “Armed Forces Medley” to honor our veterans and active military. Any current or former members of the Armed Forces in attendance will be asked to stand during the playing of their service song.

The Estes Park Jazz Big Band is made up of musicians from Estes Park and surrounding communities.
