Jazz pianist to perform Saturday
KANU to go 'Live at the Jazzhaus!'

Listening to live jazz performances can be a problem for people stuck at home and for people who don't have a large collection of jazz recordings. Radio station KANU-FM 92 consistently has tried to satisfy its listeners' desires to hear jazz with its frequent jazz programs and to hear liv broadcasts of local concerts.
KANU will continue its "Live at the Jzaahs!" series Saturday when it broadcasts jazz pianist Makoto Ozone's performance at Lawrence audence. 92% of Massachusetts St.
Ozone's three sets of solo piano are scheduled to begin at 9 p.m., and the radio broadcast will start at 10 p.m. The show's four sets of instrumental music are authorized of journalism and well-known jazz authority
THE STATION'S LIVE broadcast concert series began in October 1982 with Kansas City pianist Jay McShannon. Since then the show has featured performers such as Stan Getz, David Friesen, the vocal group Rare Silk, the Mike Metheny Quintet and others. Ozone's concert will be KANU's 16th live broadcast in the series.
The concerts are transmitted with KANU's Remote Pickup Unit, a custom stereo transmitter designed and built by KANU's engineers. The unit was licensed in 1983 by the Federal Communications Commission for the station's exclusive use.
Al Berman, KANU's director of development and co-producer of "Live at the Jazzhaus!," said KANU's engineers working on the new transmitter kept contact with many nationwide distributors of broadcast equipment for advice and for parts.
"THERE WAS A lot of disbelief," he said.
"The major marketers said they couldn't do it. Well, they did it."
'It's a series that should stand up, in my mind, to nationwide acceptance.'

Berman said the unit was unique because it combined both stereo channels on one frequency at a noise level acceptable for a live concert broadcast. Other remote transmitters must put each channel on a separate frequency during the ranges and locations broadcasts.
The quality of transmissions doesn't differ much among the different types of transmitters. Berman said, but the itemate transmitters, that both operate such as using telephone lines or satellites.
The transmitter is the only one of its kind and was paid for with listener contributions. Berman said improvements in the system's range and fidelity were being planned, and
the transmitter had not been offered to other radio stations.
KANU IS PRODUCING a package of the 13 "Live at the Jazza Haus!" recordings, Berman said, which the station plans to broadcast to public radio stations around the nation.
"It's a series that should stand up, in my mind, to nationwide acceptance," he said.
He said he thought the Ozone concert would be exceptional because the pianist had a romantic, expressive style that put him "on the verge of shaking the jazz world."
"In terms of technical ability, he's one of the up-and-coming people in jazz piano," he said.
Ozlece, 23, graduated in 1983 from the Berkley College of Music in Boston. The musician born in Boston Downbeat Beat Achiever and Achiever for Outstanding Jazz Performance in 1983.
Ozone has released one album on Columbia records. The album features Ozone performing with vibes player Gary Burton and bassist Eddie Gomez. Another album is featuring Ozone, which will feature Ozone as the pianist for the Gary Burton Quartet.
Ozone is scheduled to perform at several well-known jazz festivals this year, including the Montreal Jazz Festival and the Toronto Jazz Festival. Sarah Vaughan at the Kool Jazz Festival at Carnegie Hall.
Jazz pianist Makoto Ozone will perform at 9 p.m. Saturday at the Jazzhaus, $926_{1/2}$ Massachusetts St. His performance will be broadcast live on KANU-FM 92 beginning at 10 p.m.

Conference to focus on women in music
By PEGGY HELSEL Staff Reporter
Music of various time periods will be played and discussed next week on campus during a national conference. Despite the array of music, ranging from Baroque to jazz, a common thread runs through it: All of it was written by women.
The KU department of music will be the host of "Opus 3: Women in Music," a conference dedicated to the study, performance and discussion of musical works by women. The conference runs March 28-31 in Murphy Hall.
Registration fee for the conference is $40
Susan Hicks, assistant professor of oboe and local coordinator of the event, said. There's a tremendous variety of music women composers, just last week composers of the 20th century.
BUT ONE COMPOSER of this century, Judith Lang Zaimont, faculty member of the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, will be represented. Zaimont will be the guest composer for the
conference and her work will be featured in a concert at 8:30 p.m. March 28 in Swartwhate Recital Hall in Murphy Hall.
Hicks said, "She's definitely one of the better known composers of the 20th Cen.
Although Zaimont has reached a level of recognition, she said she thought the work of women composers often was overlooked.
"In terms of their work being incorporated into repertories, yes, they are neglected," she said in a telephone interview from her home in Baltimore.
ZAIMONT, WHO STARTED composing when she was 11 years old, said that conferences such as the one next week were good stepping stones for women composers. But there's more to be accomplished before women are integrated into the mainstream of traditional composers, she said.
"I'm beginning to experience qualms about continuing on a separate but equal realm," Zaimont said. "We need to be sure they're included in general repertoires with artists of stature so they'll get the recognition by audiences.
"That's the tricky part."
The University of Kansas will be the host for the event for the first time. The last two conferences were at the University of Michigan.
More than 50 music educators, composers and performers from around the country were invited to present papers and recitals on women in music, including Jennie Pool, executive director of the International Congress of Women in Music Inc.
POOL WILL DELIVER the keynote address in place, March 28 in Burlington Incl. Hall.
A conference banquet will be at the Adams Alumni Center, where James Moeser, dean of the school of fine arts, and John Green, professor of music, will speak.
Concerts are planned for 8:30 p.m.
March 28 and 30 in Swarorth Recital Hall.
The KU Jazz Ensemble I will perform a
program titled "Women in Jazz" under
the direction of Ron McCurdy, instructor
of music-tazz.
Sessions are scheduled in Swarthout Recital Hall from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. March 28-31. The closing session is 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. March 31.*
