A Jazz Half "Pre-Event" of the Month???
Hey Everyone!
First of all, welcome to April. Spring is here, and that means the emergence of many things: The grass, the budding tree leaves, the tulips, and jazz events throughout the city. As I'm sure you know, the Jazz Half Event of the Month is the Xavier University Jazz Ensemble's 25th Anniversary Reunion Celebration (on the weekend of April 18th). Last night was what I would consider a "Surprise Warmup" to this event.
I TRULY apologize for not airing the Showcase Spotlight on WCJS last night. But I attended a surprise event given by the Jazz Ensemble's Manager, Sue Brown, honouring Director John DeFoor for his 25 years of hard work and guidance. The event included appetizers and beverages, and a marvelous performance by The XU Faculty Jazztet, consisting of Steve Barone on Guitar, Eugene Marquis on Alto/Bari/Clarinet, Jim Anderson on Bass, and Larry C. Brown on Drums.
Between some of the numbers, several people approached the stage to share words about the impact John has had on their Collegiate and Professional lives - very touching indeed. The Jazztet performed... wait - what am I doing??? To hear more about the Jazztet event, YOU will need to stay tuned for the upcoming review - soon to be seen on thejazzhalf.com!
And don't forget to tell all your friends and family about the 25th Anniversary Reunion! For details, visit thejazzhalf.com. Cheers!
