Kenton, who is currently on tour with his 19-member group between musical engagements in Denver, Colo., and Vancouver, B.C., also will present a jazz clinic from 4-6 p.m. Saturday in the UT. The clinic is open to all interested persons without charge. Reserved seats for the concert are $2.50 for UM and high school students and $3.~0 for the general public. Tickets are available at the University Center Ticket Office. The UM Jazz Workshop, also a 19-member group, will present the opening segment of Saturday's concert. Boyd's group will feature its usual variety of jazz and jazz-rock music. Kenton and his group will play a variety of music, including nostalgic tunes from the Big Band Era--"Artistry in Rhythm," "Stella by Starlight" and "Malaguena"--to contemporary renditions, including music made popular by "Chicago" and "Blood, Sweat and Tears." Kenton, who is in his early 60s, has been a bandleader more than three decades. Although he claims Los Angeles as his home, Kenton doesn't have living quarters there or anyplace else, largely because he spends 11 months a year presenting road engagements. - more - ~ STAN KENTON, UM JAZZ WORKSHOP--page 2 Boyd said Saturday's clinic will include a brief introductory performance by Kenton's group, followed by clinic sessions on individual instruments. Both the Stan Kenton Orchestra and UM Jazz Workshop feature similar instrumentation, including trombones, trumpets, saxophones, jazz drums, conga drums, string bass and bass guitar. Saturday's visit to Missoula by Kenton and his group is sponsored by the Program Council of the Associated Students of UM, the UM Jazz Workshop and the Missoula Festival of the Arts. Boyd is coordinator of the clinic and concert. ## .

John Beasley
JOHN BEASLEY GRAMMY-NOMINEE PIANIST / COMPOSER / ARRANGER ******************************************************************************************* “Beasley, the one-time keyboardist for Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis, reflects a variety of generational influences, incorporating the emphatic chordal clusters of Herbie Hancock, the rhythmic quirkiness of Monk and the lush intelligence of Art Tatum into a highly refined personal voice.” --Los Angeles Times ******************************************************************************************* BIOGRAPHY Grammy-nominated recording artist John Beasley’s music career spans three decades. LA Times jazz critic Bill Kohlhaasee describes Beasley’s music and playing as "a variety of generational influences, incorporating the emphatic chordal clusters of Herbie Hancock, the rhythmic quirkiness of Monk and the lush intelligence of Art Tatum into a highly refined personal voice.” His credits cross the spectrum of the entertainment world: performing, recording, and touring with major jazz, pop, and world artists; composing for hit-TV series; arranging for ensembles and orchestras; working on award-winning films and commercials. With the popularity of reality singing TV shows, Beasley has taken the helm as Music Director for major studio shows. Highlights of Beasley’s multi-track career include: • Pianist/Keyboardist for Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Chaka Khan, Carly Simon, Christian McBride, Dianne Reeves, Kenny Garrett, Stanley Clarke, Lee Ritenour, even a stint with James Brown, Barbra Streisand,

Boston Globe, March, 2006
The Boston Globe March 17, 2006 She breaks down musical boundaries Luciana Souza sings with no fear, winning respect of her peers Three of Luciana Souza's four most recent CDs have earned her Grammy nominations, including ''Duos II," which this year was edged out for best jazz vocal album by Dianne Reeves and the ''Good Night, and Good Luck" soundtrack. But Souza's not a big star yet by any means. What popularity she has remains largely confined to the jazz cognoscenti and her fellow musicians, the latter of whom seem uniformly to adore her. High on the list of things they admire about Souza is her willingness to take risks. Consider the rapid-fire unison lines she sings with guitarist Romero Lubambo on ''Duos II," the album they'll likely draw heavily from in their Bank of America Celebrity Series double bill with Joe Lovano tomorrow night at Sanders Theatre. Souza, 39, and Lubambo have been playing together for a decade. But while they've built up a large repertoire of material over the years, they rarely have occasion to practice together beyond sound checks. It can sometimes come back to haunt them in concert, Souza admits. ''We have a way of doing them that hopefully comes out clean," Souza explains, laughing. ''Some nights we get into trouble, but even that is exciting for the audience. You try your best, and sometimes it succeeds. Sometimes we fail miserably, and we go back and go, 'Here we go one more time,' and just try again in front of people.

1 Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. BILL HOLMAN NEA Jazz Master (2010) Interviewee: Bill Holman (May 21, 1927 - ) Interviewer: Anthony Brown with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: February 18-19, 2010 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Description: Transcript, 84 pp. Brown: Today is Thursday, February 18th, 2010, and this is the Smithsonian Institution National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Oral History Program interview with Bill Holman in his house in Los Angeles, California. Good afternoon, Bill, accompanied by his wife, Nancy. This interview is conducted by Anthony Brown with Ken Kimery. Bill, if we could start with you stating your full name, your birth date, and where you were born. Holman: My full name is Willis Leonard Holman. I was born in Olive, California, May 21st, 1927. Brown: Where exactly is Olive, California? Holman: Strange you should ask [laughs]. Now it‟s a part of Orange, California. You may not know where Orange is either. Orange is near Santa Ana, which is the county seat of Orange County, California. I don‟t know if Olive was a part of Orange at the time, or whether Orange has just grown up around it, or what. But it‟s located in the city of Orange, although I think it‟s a separate municipality. Anyway, it was a really small town. I always say there was a couple of orange-packing houses and a railroad spur. Probably more than that, but not a whole lot.

LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Mel Lewis (May 10, 1929-February 2, 1990) was born Melvin Sokoloff in Buffalo, New York, to Russian immigrant parents. His father was a drummer in the Buffalo area who inspired his son to follow in his footsteps from an early age. Still in his mid-teens, young Lewis played with nationally known jazz musicians Harold Austin and Lenny Lewis. Early credits also include stints with Bernie Burns (1946), Boyd Raeburn (1948), Alvino Rey (1948-9), Ray Anthony (1949-50, 1953-54), and Tex Beneke (1950-53). In 1954 he joined Stan Kenton's band, playing alongside such musicians as Jimmy Giuffre, Maynard Ferguson, Laurindo Almeida, Vido Musso, and vocalist June Christy. During his three-year tenure with Kenton, Lewis also worked and recorded with the Frank Rosolino quintet and the Hampton Hawes Trio. In 1957, Lewis settled in Los Angeles where he led a quintet with another ex-Kenton sideman, saxophonist Bill Holman.

Lou Marini, Jr
Unsung Hero: “Blue Lou” Marini Saxophones, Flutes, Clarinet, Arranger, Composer, Educator, Producer “Lou has a lot to say, and all should listen.” ! —Bob Hensley, L.A. review Often referred to as an “unsung jazz hero,” platinum recording artist, Lou Marini, Jr. is the seasoned soul and adept multi-instrumentalist, arranger, composer, educator, and producer credited with inspiring the origins of a fan-following cult across multiple genres of music. Making a name for himself as a sideman in various high proﬁle groups, any top New York jazz musician will tell you heʼs “one of the absolute best jazz musicians.” The New York based Marini is famed for his chameleon-like adaptability to imagine and perform inventive ideas in jazz, rock, blues and classical music. Describing Louʼs performances, the New York Times said, “(heʼs) the focal point of the group… (who) gives the band most of its colors and shadings, and provides it with a strongly melodic lead voice.” Five time Grammy Award winning arranger / composer Bob Belden had this to say about one of the time-honored contributions from Lou Marini, Jr., “This composition and arrangement reﬂects Louʼs ability to create exciting, new music that embraces rock and the most advanced ideas of jazz music.” The statement helps illustrate Mariniʼs ability to inspire and traverse multiple music disciplines. Highly Sought Sideman Popular since the early 1970s, Lou Marini, Jr. continues to be one of the most sought-after sidemen and session musicians on the New York scene. Due in part to his incredible skill and talent of the highest calibre, Marini masters many styles and instruments.
