About the Harrisburg Jazz Collective
The Harrisburg Jazz Collective (formerly the River City Big Band) was formed in 2014 by pianist Steve Rudolph & trumpeter Bill Perbetsky (’81). The ensemble is a classic 16-piece jazz orchestra (4 trumpets, 4 trombones, 5 saxes, piano, bass, and drums) made up of the finest professional musicians in the region, some of whom are alumni of Lebanon Valley College. Their repertoire consists of classic big-band compositions by Thad Jones, Bob Florence, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich, Woody Herman and more, plus original compositions and arrangements from members and friends.
