Cool Jazz Returns is an ensemble united by a mutual love of unorthodox cool jazz instrumentation. This 10-piece group brings back the sophisticated harmonies, complex orchestration, and effortlessly cool atmosphere of 50s cool jazz. Performing iconic arrangements from the height of cool jazz as well as formative pieces that inspired the cool jazz movement, this show takes the audience through the history of the subgenre and allows them to see how the music evolved.

Led by Winnipeg-born drummer/arranger Ben Kidd and made up of some of Winnipeg's finest musicians from both the jazz and classical realms, this is a show you won't want to miss!
