The Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra played with Kenny Loggins this past Thursday night for a UM fundraiser. Half the arrangements for Kenny’s band were done by jazz big band arranger Matt Cattingub which is an interesting tidbit. The orchestra also played arrangements by Steven Guerra and other student composition majors from the Frost School of Music. It was a great show for all those involved.

Just boarded a plane to Dulles from Mia… Another adventure with Tierra Cali begins on Thanksgiving day.
