Forum swings Big band sounds to head jazz gig
By JAY COOPER
ITS A GIG that swings for an hour and a half for KU jazz buffs. It's the uptight sounds of the KU Kicks Band and the Washburn University Jazz Workshop. It's the creations of Count Basie, Stan Kenton and Woody Herman. It's the SUA jazz forum.
At 8 p.m. Sunday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union Dick Wright will cut loose his 18-piece Kicks band for 45 minutes of J-A-Z-Z.
James Van Slyke will stay in the same bag with his Workshop instrumentation for the final 45 minutes.
THE SECOND in this semester's free SUA jazz forum performances, this one will stress the big band sounds.
Tom Liley, Topeka freshman, and Lark Billick, Des Moines, Iowa, freshman, co-chairmen of the forum are constantly looking for groups people will enjoy.
Liley said, "We do what we can do to get these groups."
THE JAZZ FORUM is designed for those people interested in hearing jazz or learning about it. Now in its sixth year, the forum plans to present the Gaslight Gang, who will appear on Campus Talent '67, and for more lectures on jazz.
Wright, music librarian for KANU-FM, gave a lecture on Nov. 10 in the realm of small combos. He will be giving further lectures throughout the year.
Liley said the Kicks Band is planning on making a return visit to Washburn University later this semester.

Miss Martin said elimination begins with the first judging.
