An 8-Bit Big Band! WJO meets Video Games

featuring arrangements by drummer Ben Kidd

Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 7:30 pm

West End Cultural Centre

Two plumbers exploring a magical world of flying turtles, hoppin'-mad mushrooms and magical bricks. A hero saves a mythical land - and its princess - from an all-encompassing evil. And a world full of strange creatues you can capture and collect. For many of us, these Nintendo stories and their instantly recognizable music were pillars of childhood. Drummer and YouTube sensation Ben Kidd (8-bit Music Theory) joins the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra for a nostalgic journey through the world of video game music.

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker were jazz fans who turned to rock and roll only after hearing The Beatles. They formed the iconic band Steely Dan and over the years recorded a string of hits - catchy yet harmonically sophisticated and rhythmically nuanced - that reflected their affection for great jazz music. Leonard Shaw and Larry Roy bring their popular show back to Winnipeg in a unique big band setting with the WJO.
