The Jazz WaHi Big 'Nuff Band
The Jazz WaHi Big ‘Nuff Band, directed by Chris Peebles, is a collective of Jazz WaHi regulars and other local musicians who bring their playing and arranging/compositional talents to the festival.
It had its genesis at the reading sessions we’ve been having at Jazz WaHi’s weekly jam sessions, where musicians bring in arrangements or original compositions to be read down – with excellent results!
This year, the B’NB returns to celebrate the centennials of Miles Davis and John Coltrane with their own original arrangements of the music of these two jazz giants.
It’s not a big band – it’s just Big ’Nuff!
