The Eisner Intergenerational Big Band (EIBB) unites some of the best jazz musicians, from teenagers to seniors, to rehearse and perform an outstanding, stylistically diverse jazz repertoire. The EIBB gives a new life to jazz hits that transformed the American music landscape throughout history. Through improvisation, our musicians bring a unique experience to every performance. We bring our music to communities across Los Angeles to highlight the benefits of building meaningful, intergenerational relationships through music and performance.

The Grinch and his loyal dog, Max, live a solitary existence inside a cave on Mount Crumpet. His main source of aggravation comes during Christmastime when his neighbors in Whoville celebrate the holidays with a bang. When the Whos decide to make Christmas bigger and brighter, the disgruntled Grinch realizes there is one way to gain peace and quiet. With help from Max, the green grump hatches a scheme to pose as Santa Claus, steal Christmas and silence the Whos’ holiday cheer once and for all.
