Jazz at Holmes offers coffeehouse setting
By Liam Otten Studying got you down, exams left you feeling fried? Recuperate with alternating packs of hot and cool jazz, courtesy of the Jazz at Holmes series, now in its fifth season. Sponsored by the College of Arts & Sciences, the Department of Music in Arts & Sciences and Student Union, Jazz at Holmes offers live music in a coffeehouse setting from 8-10 p.m. most Thursday evenings during the school year. All concerts are free and open to the public and take place in Holmes Lounge in Ridgley Hall. "The aim of Jazz at Holmes is to bring to the campus the finest jazz musicians in the area," said William Lenihan, director of jazz performance for the music department. "The lineup for this fall is made up of some of the busiest players in St. Louis." For example, saxophonist Willie Akins, who performs Nov. 14, was a mainstay of the jazz scene at Gaslight Square in the 1960s and continues to enjoy a national reputation. Other performers this fall include guitarist Rick Haydon (Oct. 10), bassist Tom Kennedy (Oct. 24), saxophonist Dave Stone (Nov. 7) and pianist Kim Portnoy (Dec. 5). "Many (musicians) ask to return again and again for the rare opportunity to play acoustically in a room with such a warm sound and congenial atmosphere," added Lenihan, a guitarist who will perform with Kennedy. "They inspire local jazz musicians as well as Washington University students enrolled in the Department of Music's jazz combo program." For more information, call 935-4841. |
