Jazz Artists Find
Outlet for 'talent
Speaking of outlets for, those • interested •in promotion, radio
work, publicity, •or other, fields, there is now a' way for. people
to cut loose with their particular musical instrument.
In the pre-jam session_ era, people whO liked to join a 016.11
group .and improvise , on popular songs had only fraternity hOlises,
or Carnegie Hall to use. Since space was limited and not •always
available, there •were a lot of
frustrated musicians on campus.
Selection of Participants •
Jack Huber, jam session direc
tor, has a 'dual role, in that he
is a dormitory counselor in the
Nittany-Polkick area and is co
musical director at the College.
Knowing that the jam sessions
would carry out both - services,-*
organized them in cooperation
with the Dean of Men's office to
give his boys something to do on
Sunday afternoon and to give all
interested musicians a chance to
keep in shape.
Selection o participants doesn't
depend on who signs up first, as
so many students' believe. Music,
played by a combination of, say,
two jazz men, three bebop men,
and three dixielanders would be
pretty hard on the ears, so play
ers must be cho'sen for the type
of music they play.
Improvised Harmony
After tbe "chosen ones" get
themselves situated at the TUB,
one of the audience calls out a
song title and the musician who
knows or likes the song starts to
play. It's not at all unusual for
one song .to be played by the
same musician three or four times
because there are so \many pos
sible variations.'
The other members of the group
may either chime in with an im
provised harmony or just absorb
it. Some good combinations come
out of those three-ihstrument
choruses.
Response to the sessions has
been good, with almost capacity
crowds coming every Sunday.
With this in mind, plans to . ex
pand, which include the appear
ance of an out-of-town guest ar
tist at each session have been
made.
Dr. Noble to Be
Chapel Speaker
Dr. Charles C. Noble, dean of
Hendricks Memorial Chapel, Sy
racuse University, will speak on
"What is in the Future for You?"
at the Chapel service at 10:05 a.m.
tomorrow in Schwab Auditoriuth.
The Chapel choir, under the di
rection of Mrs. Willa Taylor, will
sing "Ave Maria" (Franck) as the
anthem, "My Inmost Heart Now
Raises" (Bach) as the introit, and
"Cast Thy Burden Upon the
Lord" (Mendelssohn) during the
service of prayer.
Theta Kappa Phi will give the
flowers for the altar and attend
Chapel en masse.
