Happiest Jazz Quintet on Earth Plays Pixar
The Happiest Big Band on Earth had their first show on April 27th, 2018, and was born through Matt Grinke’s love of jazz and Disney. Since then, the Happiest band has continued to morph and shift into many different sounds and sizes, anywhere from a trio to the full 17-piece big band, including this quintet! Matt has also shifted from just a Disney fan to pianist and music director for Disney Cruise Line, and is more than happy to arrange and perform Disney tunes even when he’s not on contract! For this special performance, Matt’s quintet will performing a set of Pixar Studio favourites and deep cuts. After the music, sit back and enjoy one of Pixar’s most popular movies, Pete Docter’s Monsters, Inc.
