"Beyond Cool" concert scheduled for 8/29

The UI jazz faculty has scheduled a concert titled "Beyond Cool" to be held at the Allerton Music Barn on August 29th.

The instrumentation will be identical to the Miles Davis nonet that recorded what came to be called "Birth of the Cool" -- trumpet, alto sax, trombone, baritone sax, french horn, tuba, piano, bass, and drums.

Some of the selections to be performed will be from the "Birth of the Cool" recording, while the balance of the material will be arrangements written by the jazz faculty for this instrumentation.

Personnel will be:

Chip McNeill, alto saxophone
Glenn Wilson, baritone saxophone
Jeff Helgesen, trumpet
Kaz Machala, horn
Jim Pugh, trombone
Karl Kramer, tuba
Chip Stephens, piano
Larry Gray, bass
Dana Hall, drums
