jazz up U festival
By Ellicia Hill
Special to the Kansas Rumor has it in the music industry that the big band sound dead but Bob Mintzer didn’t listen to that rumor and produced a compact disc that uses a traditional band as a vehicle for his solo performances at this festival were equally United States Air Force Falconies will perform eKU Jazz Ensemble at 8 p.m. in the Kansas Union room. The 18-member ensemble is a big band followed in the footsteps of Basiere, saxophone and Ed Sapell, drummer, will use solos with big bands, classical or contemporary artists as Steve Finnwood, James and Duncan Reemer at the North Tennessee, is a member of the Woody Herd and performed with Clark or eight years.
Saxophonist Mintzer will be a featured soloist in a jazz concert Friday at Hoch Auditorium.
Vocalist Jon Hendricks will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday at Hoch Auditorium with the Falconies and KU Jazz Singer. Hendricks recently won a Grammy Award for his album, "Vocalise," written for Manhattan Transfer. These are all top-quality formers; McCurdy said, "These are all top-quality formers." McCurdy said, the role of our kids' musicians in some of the best jazz bands and choirs also will perform throughout the day Friday, and high school groups will feature Saturday. These performances at Murphy Hall are free and open to the public. There also will be clinics, discusces and students and $7 for senior citizens.

Traditional big plays Mintzer’s tunes
provide the life for Mintzer’s writen invites. Mintzer himself demonstrates his outstanding solo capabilities as he plays on all the tunes but two, yet each solo is as exciting and different as the next one. Randy Breeder on flugel horn, Roger Rosenberg on baritone sax and Bob Malach on tenor sax also play solos.
On the Beatle’s tune, "Little Help from my friends," Mintzer himself has written about the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, are all pieces that capture the musical impressions Mintzer absorbed while living in the city. The loneliess of New York at 3 a.m. inspired "Empty Streets," and the铝 I did I wanna get involved New York walk-in inspired "Ethic March." Mintzer captures the feelings writing with a full palette of compositions are not the only speaking aspects of the album. The solists and the side men themselves, especially trumpeter Laurie Frink, who are all top-call musicians in the city.
