Formerly known as the Madison Mellophonium Jazz Orchestra, the Neophonic Jazz Orchestra features a cadre of local musicians dedicated to preserving the big band legacy of conductor Stan Kenton and composer Johnny Richards. Directed by Kenton alumnus Joel Kaye, this 24-piece ensemble will perform free as part of the InDIGenous Jazz Fall Series. Expect a little vintage flair and a whole lot of swing.
