Coalition at the Henderson Events Center

Tonight we attended a wonderful free jazz performance at the Henderson Events Center by Coalition. This group played a broad palette of musical techniques and styles yielding original jazz fusion compositions as well as several well known compositions that light up the night with great sound. Keyboardist Tony Branco has a Master's Degree in Jazz Composition from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, during which he taught courses in jazz and directed ensembles. He performs often and teaches in Las Vegas. Before forming Coalition in the 70s, Tony played with Miles Davis alum "Philly" Joe Jones in many jazz clubs on the East Coast
