May 22, 2006 Jazz Concert under direction of Tom Kubis. Kubis began playing tenor and soprano saxophones with various bands. He also played piano for Bobby Vinton.  Not only has he succeeded as a musician, however, Kubis's compositions and arrangements are in great demand with big band leaders. Tom Kubis formed his own big band, attracting the attention of Jack Sheldon who became an informal co-leader of the band. Apart from writing for the band, Kubis continues to provide charts for others, including Bill Watrous, the BBC Radio Big Band, and his work is also performed by youth and college bands in the USA and UK. While his writing is always lively, entertaining and often challenging, musicians and audiences alike love the complexity of his arrangements. Kubis's own recording career has held second fiddle to other projects but his artistic talent has shaped the jazz scene and puts him on the chart as one of the greatest jazz composers, performers and conductors today.  Call: (714) 895-8150. Location: Main Stage, Golden West College, 15744 Golden West Street, Huntington Beach, California 92647. Cost: $7.
