Jazz Swings Out on Mount Oread As Eleven Groups Convene Here
Eleven jazz ensembles, including two groups from KU, will join evening headliners Clare Fischer, West Coast jazz pianist, and Phil Woods, saxophonist from New Hope, Penn., in a series of concerts. Concerts begin at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, and culminate in the jazz contest finals and special program at 8:00 p.m.
THE HERB SMITH Quartet will be one of the bands representing KU at the festival. Smith, Memphis, Tenn., senior, was the only musician from KU competing in the Festival last year. He was then playing with the Midwestern Jazz Quintet, from the Kansas City Conservatory of Music.
The KU Kicks Band, organized in late October by Kevin Condon, Kansas City sophomore., and Jim Bowman, Raytown, Mo., junior, will be the second entry from KU.
The sounds of American jazz, from the rocky coasts of the Atlantic, to the Gulf of Mexico, from the California coast to the heart of the United States, will be reflected on the campus Saturday at the second annual Oread Jazz Festival.
Fisher and Woods will be playing together Saturday for the first time.
THE SEMIFINALS will begin at 10:00 A.M. Saturday in the Kansas Union Ballroom, and will continue until 5:00 P.M. Each group will be judged by a panel of judges that includes:
Don DeMicheal, editor of Down Beat Magazine; John Hammond, of Columbia Records; Dave Baker, jazz musician and Phil Woods, teacher and jazz musician.
At 8:00 P.M. the finals of the Oread Festival will be in Hoch Auditorium. At this time, Clare Fischer and Phil Woods will present a special program.
