On Monday and Tuesday, select musicians spread out to conduct five music clinics — for all three high school bands, one junior high band, and the UCSB Jazz Ensemble. A&L has long championed the educational principle that nothing can take the place of living contact with excellence, and last week’s residency was a fine Sam_Tababa on "Deltopia Party Devolves Into Isla Vista Riot" Ken you make example of this principle at work. On Wednesday, the Arlington absolutely no sense and your continued Theatre was filled to capacity with 2,000 elementary school avoidance of a few very simple questions makes you a evasive moron...

Marsalis Click Here for All Comments! demonstrated his well-known teaching savvy, engaging and holding the attention of his enormous classroom with humor, vivid images, and the basics of the brass, woodwinds, and the rhythm section, and that all-important swing.

And as if that weren’t enough, Tuesday night, the whole band played for a private backyard concert/fundraiser at the Montecito home of Jim and Patricia Selbert. The Campaign for Arts & Lectures has now passed the halfway point toward its $20 million goal, and a generous contribution by Michael and Anne Towbes ($750,000) and a planned gift by Timothy and Audrey Fisher ($500,000) were toasted. The JLCO played a set of Basie, Ellington, and Mingus, and after a break, Marsalis returned with a New Orleans combo.
