Steve Rudolph

Founded in October of 2014, Steve co-leads this 17 piece ensemble with trumpeter Bill Perbetsky and the musical arrangements are from the historic big bands (Basie/Ellington/Dorsey/James) to modern jazz arrangements (Thad Jones/Bob Florence/Bob Mintzer/Steve Allee/Mike Tomaro/Gordon Goodwin) and originals from members and friends. Originally named the River City Big Band, we changed the name in order to release recordings under an original name (we found there were 8 other River City Big Bands in the world). 

We have a new venue to go along with our new name - The West Shore Theater - the beautifully reburbished theater seats 200 with great sound, and a enlarged stage.  HJC will appear at West Shore one Tuesday per month - check Steve's calendar for details and dates. Tickets will be available in advance from the West Shore Theater's Website.
