"Live at the Temple Theatre"
Featuring Bob Hirsch and The Midcoast Reunion Jazz Band
with Bill Hanbck, trumpet; Kim Cusak, clarinet; Vince Bartels, drums; Bob Schulz, trumpet, and Jerry Martin, bass.
Our CDs are live recordings at the theatre. These nationally know jazz musicians come from all over the country to participate in the La Crosse's annual summer "Great River Jazz Festival." Bob Hirsch, who lives in California, is a Viroqua native and a great friend of ARTT supporter Thor Thorson. Thor put together plans for two restoration benefit concerts that was greeted with great enthusiasm by jazz lovers all over the area in 1997 and 2000. When the Temple re-opened following the restoration, Bob returned to the stage for performances in the first 2002-1003 Season Series and the 2005-2006 Season Series, again sponsored by his great friend Thor.
All profits from sales of these CDs go to ARTT to help fund the continuing operation of the Temple Theatre.
