Jazz will groove at Lied Center
Festival features different styles
By David Teska
Kansan staff writer
Anyone who loves jazz should find something to like at the KU Jazz Festival.
The festival, which runs Thursday through Saturday at the Lied Center, will have a mix of jazz music that should appeal to anyone with an appreciation of jazz, said Dick Wright, associate professor of music and dance and master of ceremonies for the three-day event.
In addition to teaching music history at the University of Kansas, Wright also is the host of The Jazz Scene on KANU-FM.
"Not everyone likes every kind of jazz," Wright said.
As a tribute to Bob Hammond, a KANU-FM jazz host who died last month, Wright said he was trying to get Hammond's parents and sister to attend Saturday's performance.
The festival is arranged with Thursday as vocal night, Friday as contemporary music night and Saturday as big band night, Wright sald. Performers this year include jazz singer Kevin Mahogany. The Kansas City native released his first album, Double Rainbow, in 1993 and won the 1994 Billie Holiday Prize. Appearing Thursday with Mahogany is Lisa Henry, a finalist in the 1994 Thelonius Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition. On Friday, Béla Fleck and the Flecktones will display their style of music using a "drumitar," a synthesized instrument that looks like a guitar but can produce drum-like sounds. The festival will end Saturday with a show by pianist Toshiko Akdyoshi.
During the day, more than 60 high school and college jazz groups will attend clinics where they will perform and receive feedback. Dan Gailey, director of music and dance, said that since he became the festival coordinator six years ago, he has made the clinics focus more on education and less on competition.

"In music, that's not what it's all about," he said.
Gailey said he wanted to counter the purists and stretch the medium of jazz by inviting first-rate performers like the Flecktones. He also broadened the festival's focus on education and expanded the number of participating student groups.
"We'll take as many groups as we can fit," he said.
KU singers and musicians will have an opportunity to play with festival performers during the evening concerts.
Myron Brimm, East St. Louis, Ill., senior, who will perform with the KU Jazz Combo I on Friday, said he was looking forward to the festival.
"I'll meet some more musicians and hear some good playing," he said.
Brimm already has played with well-known jazz musicians. In November 1994, he toured in Tokyo with Mercer Ellington and the Duke Ellington Jazz Band.
