The 2023 Jean's Jazz Series at the Racine Theatre Guild kicks off with "Septetasaurus" on Saturday, January 7, 2023 at 7 p.m. Septetasaurus came about as a vehicle to “road test” songs composed by Doug Clum. He had been asked to write an arrangement for a teacher colleague’s jazz septet and he was intrigued by the instrumentation of the group – alto and baritone saxes, trumpet, trombone, piano, bass, and drums. He wrote a piece for them and that went so well that he wrote another one. And then kept on writing until had had over thirty compositions in a wide variety of styles: swing, Latin, waltz, and rock. Combining local artists, this group helped Clum build each song in unique and collaborative ways. During Jean’s Jazz, a couple of surprise guest stars will be adding their talents to the ensemble, all part of seven giants playing a night of jazz.
