About this Event

The 7th Annual Joyful Noise Jazz Concert features Wayne Bergeron with the PLU Jazz Ensemble, and guest artist, the Cassio Vianna Jazz Orchestra.

Wayne Bergeron is enjoying a career as one of the most sought-after musicians in the world. Studio sessions, film dates, international touring, jazz concerts, guest appearances, and clinics keep him busy not only in his hometown of Los Angeles but worldwide.

Bergeron has recorded with artists such as Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Barbra Streisand, Michael Buble, Burt Bacharach, The Dirty Loops, Seth MacFarlane, Natalie Cole, Celine Dion, Seal, Diana Krall, Tito Puente, Christina Aguilera, Dianne Reeves, Michael Bolton, and Earth Wind & Fire, to name just a few.

Bergeron has worked on over 500 TV and motion picture soundtracks, including Stephen Spielberg’s West Side Story (2021), La La Land, Sing, The Incredibles 1 & 2, Soul, Toy Story 3 & 4, Frozen 1 & 2, The Lion King (2019), Crazy Rich Asians, Frozen 1 & 2, Monsters University, The Simpson’s Movie, and Spiderman 1 & 2.

Bergeron’s greatest love is playing lead in big bands. He has recorded and played with some of Los Angeles’ most respected bands including Gordon Goodwin, Arturo Sandoval, Pat Williams, Sammy Nestico, Jack Sheldon, Chris Walden, Tom Kubis, John La Barbara, Bob Florence, Joey Sellers, Ray Anthony, Bill Watrous, Bob Curnow, and Quincy Jones.

After being behind the scene for so many years, Bergeron stepped out on his own with his first solo effort, You Call This a Living? This debut project earned him a Grammy nomination in 2004 for Best Large Jazz Ensemble, as well as rave reviews from fans and press worldwide. Bergeron’s second CD, Plays Well With Others, released on the Concord Jazz label in 2007, was met with the same acclaim. Bergeron’s most current (and personal favorite) CD, Full Circle, was released in January of 2016. Bergeron is a National Artist for the Yamaha Corporation of America.

Tickets are available online ahead of the concert, or at the door. No refunds. Learn more at www.plu.edu/music.
