Some Glenn Miller favourites will be recreated with an authenticity unparalleled, while others will be reimaginings of these seminal works! What if "In the Mood" or Little Brown Jug" had been written or arranged...TODAY? Find out when the DBBB teams up with the Alberta Band Association to present our season opener, featuring guest soloists from among Alberta's finest young jazz musicians in the ABA's "Alberta Jazz Ensemble"! This will be an amazing opportunity for these young students and for the Don Berner Big Band! This project is supported by the Edmonton Arts Council, the City of Edmonton, and the Edmonton Downtown Business Association.

The Don Berner Big Band is the city of Edmonton's flagship large jazz ensemble. An Edmonton jazz favourite for over a decade, the Don Berner Big Band became the first professional large jazz ensemble in Edmonton to have a fully programmed concert season in 2021. Featuring Edmonton's best jazz musicians, the Don Berner Big Band presents an eclectic season drawing from classic big band and swing repertoire, collaborations with contemporary and pop artists, adaptations of works from other mediums, and more with a variety of special illustrious guests, all presented in the acoustically stellar Triffo Theatre in Downtown Edmonton!
