Pianist Bill Mays, who started his music career as a bandsman in the U.S. Navy and later as a session player in Hollywood studios, will bring his jazz septet to Coquitlam next week.
The ensemble will perform holiday tunes — including six movements from The Nutcracker Suite — at its Dec. 6 show at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way).
Besides Mays, the band is made up of: Terry Clarke (drums, percussion); Neil Swainson (bass); P. J. Perry (flute, soprano sax); Campbell Ryga (alto flute, alto sax); Jack Stafford (clarinet, tenor sax) and Perry White (bass clarinet, baritone sax).
