Wesleyan College Jazz Ensembles, under the direction of James Moore. The 2012

This year's performances

students, undergraduates, Wesleyan faculty and professional jazz artists in a
variety of ensembles and programs, according to a media release by the West
Virginia Jazz Society, a co-promoter of the event.
A free concert at 8 p.m.
Dec. 7 will feature a set by the Buckhannon-Upshur High School jazz band,
followed by the Wesleyan Jazz Ensemble performing music by Mike Tomaro. Tomaro
is director of Duquesne University's jazz programs and a recognized jazz artist and composer.
At 8 p.m. Dec. 8,
featured professional jazz artists, Wesleyan jazz faculty and students will
present "The Jazz Nutcracker," arranged by Duke Ellington and Billy
Strayhorn, and performed in a special "big band" format for only the second
time in the central West Virginia region.
Opening the Saturday
evening performances will be a "Senior Showcase" set by Kyle Andrews, a Wesleyan student who already plays drums professionally, performing
with Jeff Bush, Adam Loudin, Paul Thompson and Sean Parsons of Marshall
University.
Tickets are $5 for the
general public, $3 for students are available one hour before at the Virginia
