Saskatchewan All Star Big Band is one of the most significant ensembles of superstar Canadian jazz musicians.
This is the most novel, ambitious, progressive, and challenging of jazz projects in the history of the province of Saskatchewan. No one has ever attempted to tell the 150+ year history of Saskatchewan in music and in the vernacular of jazz, with one of Canada's most talented and brilliant composers, Fred Stride producing a commissioned work to tell this story that speaks to and includes all of us. The Saskatchewan All Star Big Band is the most significant superstar ensemble ever assembled in Saskatchewan.
You will hear that we're farmers, business people, potash workers, railroaders, hockey players, story tellers, writers, artists, and soldiers marching off to war. We're all the Saskatchewan Story and that's what the Saskatchewan Suite is all about and telling us for the very first time.
