  • Pat Harbison Stockton Helbing
    Pat Harbison Trumpeter Pat Harbison became intent on a career in music in his early teens when he became a protégé of jazz education pioneer, Jamey Aebersold. He continued to work with Aebersold as both a student and member of his jazz quintet throughout his undergraduate years. After earning a Bachelor's degree from the University of Louisville, Pat spent time free-lancing in New York City, playing gigs and sessions with such great young players as Adam Nussbaum, John Scofield, Emily Remler, Rufus Reid, Rich Perry, Jim McNeely and Hal Galper (and studying with legendary teacher Carmine Caruso), Pat returned to his native Indiana to study jazz and trumpet with both David Baker and William Adam, completing a Masters’ Degree in Jazz Studies at Indiana University. He began defining his sound at that time with his classmates and performing partners Chris Botti, Shawn Pelton, Ralph Bowen, Robert Hurst and many other notables on today’s scene. Pat currently maintains a full schedule of performance appearances regionally, nationally, and internationally, and is a regular guest artist and clinician at universities throughout the United States. In addition to holding the trumpet chair in Ritmos Unidos, he leads his own jazz sextet called Butterfly Dreams, and continues to perform with the Jamey Aebersold Quintet. He has several recordings released under his own name, and his jazz and be-bop sensibilities are a large part of the overall sound of both Ritmos Unidos CDs. He is currently Professor of Jazz Studies at Indiana University (since 1997). Prior to his return to Indiana, he was on the faculty of the University of Cincinnati for 13 years, and he is perhaps best known in the educational world for his 40 year association with Jamey Aebersold's Summer Jazz Workshops.

  • 1St Time Charm! Master’S Student Jeremy Wilson Wins a Position in the Vienna Philharmonic Fortepiano
    Fall 2008 1st Time Charm! Master’s Student Jeremy Wilson Wins a Position in the Vienna Philharmonic Fortepiano Exciting Acquisition— a First for the College of Music rriving in spring 2007 from the McNulty workshop in the Czech Republic, this gorgeous fortepiano, an 1805 Walter und Sohn copy, Ahas already become an important educational and performance tool within the College of Music. Many, many thanks are due to Professor Emeritus Michael Collins, philanthropist Paul Voertman and the National Endowment for the Arts for their generosity that enabled us to purchase this instrument. One of its most interesting uses has been the recording project planned in conjunction with an upcoming book by UNT musicology alumnus James “Chip” Parsons, Professor of Music at Missouri State University and a former student of Professor Collins. A-R Editions will publish Dr. Parsons’ book on early alternate settings of Schiller’s poem “An die Freude” (heard in the famous last movement of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony). The accompanying CD, coordinated by UNT faculty Elvia Puccinelli, will include selections based on the facsimile scores included in the book.

  • Midwest Program for PDF.P65
    New Trier High School Winnetka, Illinois Jazz Ensemble I and Jazz Guitar Ensemble The Midwest Clinic An International Band and Orchestra Conference Grand Ballroom Chicago Hilton and Towers December 20, 2007 12:45 p.m. New Trier High School Jazz Ensemble I NTJazz.com The New Trier High School Jazz Ensemble I is the most advanced of four curricular jazz ensembles at New Trier High School. All jazz ensembles rehearse for forty minutes each school day and the students receive a grade and academic credit for their participation. New Trier also offers four curricular concert bands and five orchestras. More than 125 students participate in the jazz studies program at New Trier. Some of the jazz artists who have performed with the New Trier jazz ensembles include: Dizzy Gillespie, Maynard Ferguson, the rhythm section of the Count Basie Orchestra, the rhythm section of the Tito Puente Latin Jazz Orchestra, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Ed Shaugnessy, Clark Terry, Louie Bellson, Gordon Goodwin and more than sixty others listed elsewhere in this program. The performances of twenty-eight of our past guest artists with Jazz Ensemble I are featured in a new double CD just released with ALL proceeds going to fund a house in the Habitat for Humanity “Musicians’ Village” housing project in New Orleans. (See page 15 for more information.) With the belief that our graduates are our trophies, neither the New Trier jazz ensembles nor any other music group at the school participates in competitive music events. New Trier jazz groups have performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, the North Sea jazz Festival, twice at the conventions of the International Association of Jazz Education, four times before today at the Mid- west International Band and Orchestra Clinic, at a Music Educators National Conference, and the Jazz Guitar Ensemble National Band Association national convention.
