Cal Poly Fall Jazz Concert
Get Jazzed at Cal Poly's Annual Fall Jazz Concert Dec. 3
The creativity and spontaneity of jazz will be on display when the Cal Poly jazz ensembles give their Fall Jazz Concert at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3 in the Spanos Theatre on campus.
Two big bands and a jazz combo will perform standards and cutting-edge, contemporary jazz.
“The unpredictable is always a part of jazz, and that is one of the fascinating things about it,” said Paul Rinzler, Cal Poly’s director of Jazz Studies. “The jazz musicians performing have the chance to do something really new and fresh, and they always come through, much to the audience's delight.”
Rinzler will direct the big bands, which will perform arrangements of material as varied as jazz standards such as “Cute” by Neal Hefti (who also wrote the music for the Batman television show of the 1960s), as well as new compositions, such as a radical re-working by Michael Abene of Duke Ellington's classic “Caravan.”
Patrons who buy season tickets to four Music Department events through the Performing Arts Ticket office will receive a 10 percent discount; a 15 percent discount is given to those who buy tickets to five or more events.
