U of A Jazz: A Return from the Far East
The UA Studio Jazz Ensemble (aka Jazz A) was founded by Tom Ervin in 1972. Jeff Haskell began conducting the ensemble regularly in 1977. In its ranks have sat some of the finiest young musicians in Southern Arizona. The players' names read like a "who's who" and so does the list of soloists who have starred with the band over the years. The quality has always been high. In the 1980's, the band was hired to tour with Dizzy Gillespie, a tour that exposed to the students the great teaching expertise that Dizzy had at his command.
Since then, the band has backed up some of the most high-profile and legendary jazz artists of our time including Bill Watrous, Bobby Shew, John Fedchock, Brian Lynch, Chris Potter, and many more. Most recently, they have been invited to undertake a groundbreaking two-week performance and educational trou throughout China. Moises Paiewonsky, assistant professor of trombone, serves as associate director of the ensemble. Together, Haskell, Paiewonsky, and the students continue to play the classics while exploring new material.

Cowboy Poetry & Music Gathering, Saturday, January 15, 2011 - 3:00 pm
Saddle up In The Brooke! This is an event not to be missed! The first annual SaddleBrooke Cowboy Poetry and Music Gathering starring Baxter Black. Performers to include Baxter Black,, Dave Stamey, Ross Knox and the Way Out West Trio.
Cowboy poetry is rhymed, metered verse written by someone who has lived a significant portion of their life in Western North American cattle culture. The verse refects an intimate knowledge of that way of life and the community from which it maintains itself in tradition.
Whereas Cowboy Poetry was recited in the cow camps for their own amusement and to entertain, Cowboy Music had a different origin. It was certainly sung by the cowboys in the evenings around the campfires and in cow town saloons, along with poetry recitation, but the music had a higher purpose. On the long cattle drives the cowboys would sing and yodel to calm the cattle at night and avoid stampedes.
All net proceeds from this event will benefit the Tucson Troop Support Group.
