Jim McNeely
composer / conductorAbout
Internationally acclaimed composer/pianist Jim McNeely has performed with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra (now the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra), the Stan Getz Quartet, the Phil Woods Quintet, Bob Brookmeyer, and David Liebman, among other artists. The New York Times has called his compositions "exhilarating," and DownBeat has said that his music is "eloquent enough to be profound."
At Wesleyan, McNeely's acclaimed ten-piece jazz ensemble will perform selections from his various recordings, including the grammy nominated album "Group Therapy", as well as "Paul Klee", featuring music inspired by that visual artist. This concert is the Jim McNeely Tenet's New England debut and is part of the 18th annual Wesleyan Jazz Orchestra Weekend....
