Big band jazz performance by the Cascadia Big Band with Roger Bare on vocals at The Royal Room.
Cascadia Big Band plays The Royal Room on Wednesday, October 14, as part of their Fall Showcase. It's a big band night, and they're bringing Roger Bare along on vocals.
If you're not familiar with the Cascadia Big Band, the name tells you exactly what you're getting: a full jazz ensemble with a horn section that fills the room. The set is built around intricate jazz charts, the kind of arrangements that take a lot of coordination to pull off. They describe it as an energetic sound, and the focus is on the ensemble's skill and musicianship—the way a big band locks in together is a good part of the draw. With Roger Bare on vocals, there's a voice leading the way through those charts, so it's not just the horns doing the heavy lifting.
This particular show is part of their Fall Showcase, which puts it in the context of their autumn run rather than as a one-off. If you've seen them before, you know the format; if this is your first time, it's a good place to start.
