The University of Arkansas Jazz Ensemble under the direction of James Greeson will perform its fall concert featuring a 24 piece big band. The 100th anniversary of the birth of the great American composer and band leader Duke Ellington will be honored by a performance of his "Concerto for Cootie" featuring trumpeter Joe Dearing, and our great local jazz pianist, Claudia Burson, will be featured playing a solo tribute to Duke Ellington. Other composers heard will include Sammy Nestico, Miles Davis, Les Hooper and Victor Lopez. The UA Jazz Sextet, a student group, will also perform.

WALTON ARTS CENTER PRESENTS
SAN JOSE TAIKO-JAPANESE DRUMS AND DANCE
NOVEMBER 13, 1999 @ 8 P.M.
San Jose Taiko is an Asian-American hybrid, a musical crossbreed of traditional Japanese Taiko drumming and African, Balinese, Latin and jazz percussion invigorated with elements of stylized dance. The resulting mix is exotic and electrifying.
"...pounding syncopation that could stir immortal drummer Gene Krupa from that great jazz combo in the sky," writes the Honolulu Advertiser.
For more information regarding San Jose Taiko, contact Ann Martindale or Terri Trotter at 443.9216 or check San Jose Taiko out on our website at www.waltonartscenter.org. San Jose Taiko is being sponsored by KUAF & The Morning News of Northwest Arkansas. Tickets range from $10 - $14 and are available by calling Walton Arts Center box office at 443.5600.
Discount Tickets Available.
If you decide to attend this show tell the ticketing representatives when you call (443.5600) or come to Walton Arts Center that you deserve $2 off--and for once you'll get what you deserve!
