The Joey Stempien Big Band showcases a new generation of jazz artists shaping the future of the big band tradition. The result is music that feels bold and contemporary, and deeply engaging programs that invite curious listeners, connect with longtime jazz fans, and give audiences something to remember.

JSBB is made up of a handpicked ensemble of some of the most promising young jazz musicians from Eastman School of Music, the University of Rochester, and other regional schools.

What sets them apart is not just the caliber of the players, but the collective vision: to present big band music that feels contemporary, forward-looking, and deeply connected to the community.

Audiences know they’re hearing tomorrow’s leaders in jazz, today.
