Vol. VII, No. 2 COLLEGE OF THE CANYONS November 8, 1976

Free Jazz

Concerts

By Jim E. James
The COC Jazz Band proved that
you can still get a great deal for
nothing. The second in the series of
free Thursday night jazz concerts
was held October 21 in the student
center dining room and proved to be
quite a success with the audience.
The 22-piece band under the direc-
tion of Stu Fischer provided a lively
evening of music. Their versatility
was displayed by their wide range
of music from A Tribute To Duke
Ellington to the contemporary and
exciting La Fiesta by Chick Corea.
All the bands arrangements were
accentuated by a number of excel-
lent soloists, most notably Thom
Yeah on tenor saxaphone, and Steve
Moore on guitar.
The only disappointment of the
evening was the small size of the
audience. Many came and left as
much as class schedules would
permit them, while others stayed
for the whole two hour concert. All COC Jazz Band's the best buy in town.
