This Saturday, Feb. 22 Bl. ATLEM AN IA will play two shows in Campbell Hall, 8 and 10 p.m. Tickets are $6 for students and $7 for general admission. Available at the usual spots. I)o you remember the first time you saw or heard the Beatles? Tony K: shman who portrays Paul McCartney first saw the Beatles when he was eiaht years old, catching their act on the “ Ed Sullivan Show.” At 23, Ki shman is still pretending to be a Beatle, only now he gets paid for it. - Jimmy Poe was 12 when the legendary Sullivan shows were aired, but even at that tender age, the Beatles changed his life, too. Now at 26, Poe. finds himself singing and playing nightly as he portrays Beatles’ lead gi tartist George Harrison. As did Kishman and the other cast members, M chael Palaikis (John Lennon) and Sy Goraleb (Ringo Starr), Poe got the Harrison role after extensive auditions almost two years ago. 'This show is not just Beatles music, but the entire times of the 60’s when the Beatle music was happening,” Poe said. “ The 60’s were turbulent times. The show tries to tell a story.” SPYRO GYRA - FUSION JAZZ Fusion jazz — the product of mixing jazz and rock — will be coming to Campbell Hall March 1 with the sounds of SPYRO GYRA. The band will perform two shows — the first at 7:30 p.m., the second at 10 p.m. Tickets are $11.50 for students, $13.00 for general admission and $14.00 at the door. The introduction of fusion jazz was in the late 60’s-early 70’s when jazz artists began to fuse their music with electric instruments — , keyboards, and synthesizers. Even with the combination of rock-n-roll rhythm this “ new sound” has relatively few vocals so fusion jazz is still classified as jazz. Keyboards, guitars, and horns, predominately the sax, are the major sources of sound coming from Spyro Gyra. Their music is quick-paced and very upbeat while at the same time relaxed and almost calming. Spyro Gyra has been together since the roots of fusion jazz began to sprout. Jay Beckenstein, the sax player and the group’s main man, contributes to the consistency and long-withstanding success of the band. The group’s uniformity can be heard in their albums; there is not a lot of difference in this la tin-sounding jazz between the older and most recent albums. To get a clear and sound idea of the band’s music their live album “ Access All Areas” is a nice cross-section of Spyro-Gyra’s work. Tickets are on sale now at the A.S. Ticket Office, Morninglory Music, and Ticket Master for both shows. This concert is a co-promote with A.S. Program Board and Y-97.
