This Sunday Lincolnites will have the opportunity to hear good live jazz by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. This group of five musicians is unique because the members, all past 60, were young when jazz itself was young. They grew up with the Lady (jazz) herself. With piano, trumpet, trombone, clarinet and drums, the band plays this genuinely American music in the New Orleans style. The group represents that unique establishement in New Orleans Pre servation Hall. Founded informally in 1952, Preservation Hall has since served as a congregating place for rri.;s cans who know with the jazz sty!" In recent years it has taken the educational function of prf-se-virn and perpetuating the New Orleans Lrar.'J of jazz.

The concert will be Oct. 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the Nebraska Union Centennial Room.
