The
Baker University Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of professor of
music J.D. Parr, will host the Chris Grubb Memorial Jazz Scholarship
Concert at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, April 14, at Rice Auditorium, 404 8th Street. The
concert, The Blues Brothers Cruise Again!, is free and open to the
public. Returning to the stage at Rice Auditorium are former four-year
Baker Jazz Ensemble members Ken Richardson, ’91, saxophonist, and Doug
Oswald, ’90, drummer. Both musicians are original members of Four
Fried Chickens and a Coke, possibly Kansas City’s most popular,
successful and longest-running show and party band. Founded in 1998, the
Chickens have performed in a variety of venues across Kansas City.
The band performs mostly music made popular by the original Blues
Brothers during their appearances on Saturday Night Live and in their
hit movie.
After
a 35-year career at Baker, this is J.D. Parr’s final concert as
Director of the Jazz Ensemble. It promises to be a spirited and fun
evening.
The student teachers in Baker Universities Lab School offer music lessons to members of the community.
A Spring Recital will be held on Saturday, May 7th at 1pm in McKibbin Recital Hall, which is located in the Owens Musical Arts Building, 408 8th St. Everyone is invited!
