Brad Cox on the People’s Liberation Big Band’s CD release, performance of ‘The Nutcracker and Mouse King’

• KC Jazz Lark

The People’s Liberation Big Band is known locally for creating top-notch jazz and for being large in size, as its name suggests. The KC collective is preparing to release a new CD, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, at RecordBar this Sunday, December 4, at 8 p.m. Cost is $5.

We recently spoke with Brian Cox of PLBB and found out about the new record, the performances the band has planned this winter, and what the band’s got going in the future.
