We know you could hardly contain your excitement for our attempted dual recital last Thursday, but our strong will and determination were not enough to fend off a school canceling, life-threatening, epic snow storm (and by epic, I am of coarse referring to the low standards set by the great state of New Jersey. These standards no doubt provide a good laugh elsewhere in the country where residents can deal with a little snow on the ground...but I digress). So, this leaves only one option. It's time we show Mother Nature who's boss by performing some hot original jazz music not once, but twice next week!
The newly re-scheduled dates for our graduate composition/arranging recital are as follows:
Monday, March 8th at 7:30 p.m. - Shea room 101
Tom Erickson small ensemble featuring:
Kenny Warren - trumpet
Caleb Curtis - alto sax
Keith Packard - guitar
Chris Pattishall - piano
Bill Thoman - bass
Colin Stranahan - drums
What's that? More you say? Coming right up!
Tuesday, March 9th at 8 p.m. (now also in Shea room 101) featuring:
WPU Jazz Orchestra
Eric Burns' small ensemble:
Mike "Birthday Boy" Wilkens - tenor sax
Eric O'Donnell - trumpet
Sam Trapchak - bass
Ryo Noritake - drums
Nadya Kourani-Vln
Sue On-Vln
Louise Stine-Thomas-Vla
Kate Victor-Vlc
And because our dear friend Mike Wilkens will be celebrating his birthday on Tuesday, we will hold a post-reception reception in his honor at the Brown House. Please inquire for further details.
