Accomplished composer, pianist, saxophonist, conductor and arranger Gordon Goodwin is bringing his Big Phat Band to town. The Grammy Award winner and his accompanying 18-piece band have been going strong with their retro, big-band sound that melds with contemporary, progressive styles for the past 15 years. With a total of seven studio albums, the Big Phat Band has won three Grammys and been nominated 16 times since 2003. Performing as part of the annual Eastern Washington University Jazz Dialogue Festival, a program that allows participants to work with acclaimed musical artists over a two-day period, this event is open to anyone who is jubilant about jazz.
