SUMMARY:The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:  \nGet Tickets \n  \nMain Stage\n(Building 11A)\nTickets $39 \n \n\nThe first Glenn Miller Orchestra did not make it at all. It was a total and absolute economic failure. But Glenn knew what he wanted\, held to that dedication\, and relentlessly worked to succeed. He launched his second band – the one that lives on today – in March of 1938. The Glenn Miller Orchestra has been a “hit” ever since. \nThe legendary Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all dance bandleaders back in the Swing Era of the 1930s and ’40s. A matchless string of hit records\, the constant impact of radio broadcasts\, and the drawing power at theatres\, hotels\, and dance pavilion\, built and sustained the momentum of popularity. \nGlenn disbanded his musical organization in 1942 at the height of its popularity to volunteer for the Army. There\, he organized and led the famous Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. It went to Europe to entertain servicemen performing numerous live and radio shows. On December 15\, 1944\, Major Miller took off in a single-engine plane from Europe to precede his band to France\, disappearing over the English Channel\, never to be seen again. The army declared him officially dead a year later. \nWith the release of the major motion movie The Glenn Miller Story featuring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson in 1954\, interest and popular demand led the Miller Estate to authorize the formation of the present Glenn Miller Orchestra. On June 6\, 1956\, and under the direction of drummer Ray McKinley who had become the unofficial leader of the Army Air Force Band after Glenn’s disappearance\, the reformed Glenn Miller Orchestra performed its first concert and has been on the road ever since. Other leaders have followed Ray including clarinetists Buddy DeFranco and Peanuts Hucko\, trombonists Buddy Morrow\, Jimmy Henderson\, Larry O’Brien\, and Gary Tole\, and tenor saxophonist Dick Gerhart. Since January 2012\, vocalist Nick Hilscher leads the band. \nToday\, the 18 member ensemble continues to play many of the original Miller arrangements both from the civilian band and the AAFB libraries. Additionally\, it also plays some more modern selections arranged and performed in the Miller style and sound. Just as it was in Glenn’s day\, the Glenn Miller Orchestra today is still the most sought-after big band in the world.

SUMMARY:STARMIX
DESCRIPTION:StarMix – A live Astro-musical Event!\nExplore the cosmos with a short tour of the night sky\, followed by a DJ set of eclectic electronic music by Rob Hughes. Experience atmospheric soundscapes\, dreamy downtempo beats\, and shimmering waves of synthesized melodies merging with other worldly\, full dome visuals from Grant Bouvier of Luminous Abstract. For fans of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos\, multiverse theory\, interstellar travel\, the film scores of Tangerine Dream\, celestial bodies\, the Rainbow Road track from Mario Kart\, or just pondering the heavens in general. This show is 1 1/2 hours in length\, including a short intermission. Musical portion may contain flashes\, or rapidly changing images and patterns\, which may affect photosensitive viewers. \nArtists:\nRob Hughes is a DJ from Philadelphia. At the intersection of ethereal electronica and spaced out disco\, his sets radiate the warm and rapturous glow of the cosmic groove. \nGrant Bouvier is an electronic audiovisual artist and composer from Philadelphia. His work focuses on the polymerization of the hyper-digital and the hyper-analog\, glitches\, weird circuits\, dead media formats\, and uncertainty. He seeks to subvert the computationality of our technoliminal world\, investigate the possibilities of lost futures\, and to reveal the bizarre and eerie alternative states of being that exist beyond\, and beneath\, the end of history.

SUMMARY:OCC Foundation Concert Event: Chris Botti
DESCRIPTION:  \nGet Tickets \n  \nMain Stage\n(Building 11A)\nOrchestra $104\, Mezzanine $84 \nPre-Show OCC Foundation\nReception at B2Bistro $75 \nPost-show VIP Packages\navailable at chrisbotti.com.\n \nAbout the OCC Foundation Concert Event\n \nSince 1965\, the OCC Foundation has proudly served the Ocean County College community\, supporting thousands of deserving students. Over the past 60 years\, we’ve awarded over $22 million in scholarships and special program funding. Your generosity continues to make a lasting impact\, supporting initiatives like the Helping Hands Food Pantry\, the Blauvelt Speaker Series\, the Global Travel Experience\, select programming at the Grunin Center for the Arts\, the Robert J. Novins Planetarium\, and the Veteran & Military Resource Center (VMRC)\, resources for Athletic programs\, and support for many other college and student-led programs. \nAbout Chris Botti\nGRAMMY-winning trumpeter Chris Botti has been one of the most popular instrumentalists in the world for nearly three decades; he’s collaborated with some of the biggest superstars on the planet\, including Sting\, Paul Simon\, Barbra Streisand\, Lady Gaga\, Tony Bennett\, Frank Sinatra\, Aretha Franklin\, Bette Midler\, Joni Mitchell\, Steven Tyler\, Andrea Bocelli\, Herbie Hancock\, Yo-Yo Ma\, and others; he’s topped the jazz charts with numerous albums\, earned multiple Gold and Platinum records\, performed with symphony orchestras and on prestigious stages from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl to the Sydney Opera House. \nIn short\, Chris Botti really needs no introduction. Yet with his Blue Note Records debut\, he’s offering one anyway. Vol.1 is in many ways a fresh start for the trumpeter. Having successfully crossed over from jazz renown to pop stardom\, Botti’s first album in more than a decade finds him crossing back\, with a small group project focused on acoustic jazz and classic standards. \n“I turned 60 in 2022\, at a time that seemed like a restart for so many things in the world\,” Botti says. “I wanted to strip away all the orchestral arrangements and special guests and focus more on my playing\, the playing of my band\, and these jazz classics that we always love playing on stage.” \nWhile Botti could boast of the major names with whom he’s shared stages\, this project allows him to share his enthusiasm for the jazz greats past and present that excite him – his conversation is peppered with references to everyone from Miles Davis to Keith Jarrett to Pat Metheny to Brad Mehldau. He points to landmark albums like Davis’ Kind of Blue\, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman\, or Metheny’s duo outing with Charlie Haden\, Beyond the Missouri Sky as models for the kind of “lifestyle” music he set out to make – music that is exquisite on its own but can also set the scene for a coffee shop or hotel lounge\, instantly generating a sophisticated mood. \nOf course\, Botti couldn’t have found a more ideal home for this artistic rebirth. Blue Note has been a standard-bearer of jazz throughout its storied history\, and the trumpeter found a receptive partner in label president Don Was. “Anyone that’s lucky enough to say they’re on Blue Note Records should be pinching themselves\,” Botti says. “It’s a fantastic honor. I had great runs on Verve and Columbia\, so it’s amazing to now arrive on the most famous traditional jazz record label.” \nSponsors\nEvent sponsorships are available through the OCC Foundation.
