Wilbur Rehmann Jazz Sunday, August 12th Rounding out our 2018 season will be a Montana favorite. Band leader, Wilbur Rehmann, dazzles on the saxophone. His clean sound on alto is reminiscent of Paul Desmond but his big, full sound on tenor is as gutsy as Ben Webster or Coleman Haw- kins. Mr. Rehmann is an original and cre- ates music influenced by the high moun- tains and open plains of Montana. He has performed with Dizzy Gillespie, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Arnett Cobb, the Big Sky Mudflaps and M.J. Williams.
