Here are great shows for the weekend ...

Great Basin Street Band

Show of the week • The Great Basin Street Band will bring its unique yet reverent take on Dixieland jazz at the next installment of the Gallivan Center’s collaboration with the local Excellence in the Community concert series, presented free Saturday night inside the center’s indoor venue adjacent to the lawn. Last month’s concert, featuring the great Utah pianist Josh Wright, drew a packed house, complete with a Steinway piano brought in by Daynes Music, one of the sponsors of the show. Jerry Floor, who plays clarinet for the band, said in a Tribune interview that part of the evening will be a chance to “show Bob off a little bit.” The “Bob” he’s referring to is pianist Bob Bailey, 90 years old, who still practices daily and still “plays absolutely great,” Floor said. Floor is a legend in the local jazz community himself after playing with the big names in Hollywood in the ’50s and ’60s, including Ginger Rogers, Nat King Cole and Dean Martin. He even flew in Air Force One once to perform for President Richard Nixon at the White House. Along with Bailey, the rest of the members are established solo artists: Reed LeCheminant on cornet, Shannon Roberts on trombone, Jay Lawrence on drums, Steve Call on tuba and Keven Johansen on banjo. Don’t miss this chance to show support for local music without having to pay a dime.
