EIU jazz combos to perform Thursday



CHARLESTON — The EIU Jazz Studies program will showcase its five performing ensembles in short performances by each in their first concert of the year.

This opening concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Doudna Fine Arts Center’s Dvorak Concert Hall.

The groups to perform are the EIU Jazz Ensemble, the EIU Jazz Lab Band, and three jazz combos. The concert will feature a combination of big band and small group music, including arrangements and compositions by Duke Ellington, the Jazztet, and Wes Montgomery.

EIU’s jazz performing ensembles have received recognition for excellent performances across the region. In recent years, Eastern’s jazz groups have been recognized for their outstanding musicianship at the Elmhurst, Notre Dame and North Texas jazz festivals.

Sam Fagaly directs the EIU Jazz Ensemble, and Paul Johnston directs the EIU Jazz Lab Band. The combos are coached by Dave Fink and Paul Johnston.

The Doudna Fine Arts Center is located one block west of Ninth Street at Garfield Avenue on the EIU campus. There is no charge for admission.
