The Nazz Jazz Big Band (aka The Jerry Nelson Orchestra) - Originated with a group of players from Denver First Nazarene Church.  Founded in the early 1980s with a smaller ensemble, called Jericho Brass.  Today's group, with traditional swing band flavor, is composed of a full section of saxes, trumpets, trombones, and rhythm.  The group also incorporates choral brass, Latin sounds, and even a touch of country.  The group's church concerts include moments of genuine worship that leaves its audiences more than entertained.  Currently, the group is working on a CD, slated for early, 2005 release.  Contact: Jerry Nelson, (303) 789-4494.
