Calgary’s WNBB Big Band, a.k.a. the "Wednesday Night Big Band", begins its 35th season with an instrumental show at Dickens Pub on October 19th.

Some highlights:

• our fearless leader Brian Thorlacius on the sweet ballad "When Two Are One"
• Pat Metheny’s tune "In Her Family" interpreted by Ron Wrigley on piano
• a bunch of short solos in Hugh Fraser’s blues song "Thank You Very Much"
• a number of bottom-end baritone sax solos by new member Bill Mandryk on baritone sax and by Dana Kaukinen who this year triumphantly returns to the bass trombone chair
