Grammy and Emmy award-winning jazz composer Gordon Goodwin brought his Big Phat Band to the Bonita Center for the Arts in San Dimas, CA, on Saturday, March 16th, 2024. Gordon performed as a guest artist with the All-District Jazz Ensemble—featuring students from the Bonita and San Dimas Jazz Ensembles—before taking the stage for a full concert with the Big Phat Band.

The evening also included a tribute to Robin Snyder, former Bonita band director credited with introducing jazz education in Southern California and inspiring Gordon to pursue a career in music.

Tickets were available at the Bonita Center for the Arts website (https://bonitacenterforthearts.ludus.com/200447772) at three price levels ($50/$45/$35). It was a spectacular night of jazz!
