Come join us for an afternoon of jazz tunes including “Bear Necessities”(Jungle Book), “Cantina Band” (Star Wars - Yes it's “May the 4th”!), “Someday My Prince Will Come” (Snow White) and other well known jazz standards.

To celebrate our 15th year in business we are launching this series with our first concert featuring the three teachers who have been at OTOB since the beginning! Kurt Nielsen was the first guitar/bass OTOB teacher who joined OTOB owners Carissa Neufeld and Michael Skinner 15 years ago. They performed together at Edward Levesque's Kitchen for several years every weekend as a jazz trio and also performed on OTOB's front lawn for “Live Jazz from Across the Street” during the pandemic lockdowns. Come join us for an afternoon of jazz standards and arrangements with Carissa Neufeld on piano, Kurt Nielsen on bass and Michael Skinner on drums.
