Renowned saxophonist to perform

For hungry jazz fans seeking fulfillment, the Jacobs School of Music will host the last of three performances of the Moveable Feast of the Arts Series 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Ogle Center in New Albany, Ind. at IU Southeast’s campus.\nThe IU Jazz Ensemble, led by professor Patrick Harbison, will play jazz styles from the 1940s to contemporary times.\n“The idea is to share the wealth of music and other arts at IU Bloomington with the rest of the state of Indiana by having concerts with IUB musicians and other types of arts events on regional campuses,” Harbison said. \nThe 25-piece ensemble will perform with internationally renowned musician Jamey Aebersold, a guest alto sax soloist. \n“I enjoy hearing young people because it reminds me of when I was in college,” Aebersold said. “I look forward to the arrangements and soloing with their great rhythm section.”\nA jazz educator, Aebersold also has three degrees from the music school, including an honorary doctorate. \nHarbison studied trumpet under Aebersold, and they have worked together professionally all over the world, teaching and playing at jazz concerts and clubs. \n“This is the first time one of the IU jazz groups has performed for a Moveable Feast event,” Harbison said. “I am really honored to have been asked to put this one together.” \nThe concert is free to all children under 18, as well as IU students, faculty, staff and alumni. General admission is $5 and tickets can be obtained by visiting the Ogle Center box office or through Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com.
