Alumnus John Vanore, B.S. '69, or­ ga nized the Jazz Ensemble in 1972, the year he returned to Widener as an in­ structor in music. The Ensemble is, he says , " a 19-piece big band which per­ forms selections from the libraries of Buddy Rich , Woody Herman, Maynard Ferguson, Oliver Nelson, and Thad Jones ." It's a natural that John not only leads but frequently performs with the En­ semble . He is a professional trumpet player who toured with the Woody Her­ man Orchestra during 1970. This month, John completes his first year as acting director of music. His in­ terest and growing commitment to music education led him in 1973 to end a three­ year stint with the Latin Casino's staff orchestra. In those days, he accom­ panied performers Tony Bennett, Helen Reddy, Sammy Davis, Tom Jones, The Fifth Dimension, The Temptations, and others . But today he is much more involved in the full showcase of popular and clas­ sical music. He is not only teaching a broad range of music courses and leading the Jazz Ensemble, but is also overseeing the Widener Chorale, Wind Ensemble, Pep Band, Brass Choir and Woodwind Quintet.
