A MUSICAL FEAST CONCERT SERIES presents big band jazz ensemble
NOT PAST 11
SUNDAY, JUNE 14th at 5:00 P.M. in the Nave!
Not Past 11, an 18-piece big band from the Georgetown area, was begun by Andy McKay in 2011. Originally a small combo group, it grew into a full big band. As the group expanded, Andy called on high school students to fill in the gaps so that they could learn about jazz music styles and playing for an audience. With older guys and kids making up the band, later evening performances were not preferred – and the name Not Past 11 was adopted! When younger members graduated or left the band, the slots were filled with adult professional and amateur musicians.
The ensemble takes a more contemporary approach to the genre, incorporating popular rock and funk selections, contemporary jazz, songs from the ‘60’s on up, and swing standards into a delightfully danceable mix. This week’s concert features a lot of Maynard Ferguson charts, a nod to Flag Day, and even a wild foray into opera as they tackle Puccini’s “Nessun dorma” from Turandot (seriously!)
More sneak peeks: Stevie Wonder’s Spinning Wheel, Cindi Lauper’s Time After Time, and Mambo Swing, Superbone Meets the Badman, and Proud Mary … and of course lots more, but you’ll have to come find out the rest!
Come ready to dance in the aisles, and bring the whole family — this one is great for all ages!
The concert is free; if you are able to contribute, donations for our musician will be gratefully accepted at the door ($10 suggested). All is on one level and easily accessible for those coping with mobility challenges. Plenty of free parking is available on site at 1420 E. Palm Valley Blvd., Round Rock (78664).
