Results of Rotary Festival Jazz Band Auditions
April 3, 2006
The following is the roster for the Rotary Festival Jazz Band, which is being organized in cooperation with St. John's Jazz Festival. We would like to thank all students for their participation in this year's Jazz Band auditions. The caliber of playing was extremely high in all areas and this made the decision-making process exceedingly challenging.
Music is still enroute from the publishers so in order to take advantage of as much time as possible students should visit the following sites to listen to the list of music being considered. Click here to listen to the tunes.
- Blues Express.....Shorty Rogers (Ed. Curnow)
- Penthouse Dawn....alto ballad feature...Oliver Nelson
- I Remember You....Bill Holman (High F in tpt/very hip mod swing)
- Hoe Down......Oliver Nelson...fun countryish
- Self Help Is Needed........Oliver Nelson
- Cubauza.....Michael Mossman www.3-2music.com

It is essential that all members attend both the rehearsals and concerts.
