Jazz artists come to town
Through the efforts of the
Union Concerts Committee,
the Mid-America Arts Alliance,
Braniff Airlines, and The
Natior"! Endowment for the
Arts, three of the all-time
greats of jazz will be in town
during the latter part of this
week for the Newport Jazz
Festival.
Clark Terry, Gary Burton,
and Gerry Mulligan will be
playing in a series of
mini-concerts, jams, and
workshops Thursday and
Friday, with Saturday reserved
for a monster concert featuring
all three at the Coliseum.
The schedule for their stay
is as follows: Thursday
Mulligan will be at Lincoln
High School, 22nd and J St. at
3:30 p.m. At 7 p.m., Burton
will be giving a short concert at
HarperSchrammSmith
Residence Halls, while Terry
will perform at the Gateway
Shopping Center, 61st and 0
St.
Friday's activities begin at
noon, with Burton holding a
mini-concert in People's Park,
next to the Corn Popper at
dove wore
strike up
tho band
14th and N St. At 1 pjn.,
Mulligan will hold a jazz
workshop at CDonneU
Auditorium on the Nebraska
Wesleyan Campus, 50th and St.
Paul St. At 3 p.m., Burton will
be in room 115, Westbrook
Music Building, giving an
informal performance. Terry
will, appear at the State Penal
Complex at 5 p.m., and at 8:30
p.m. will jam with local jazz
folk at the Elms nightclub on
West 0 St., giving a bcneGt
performance for the
Opportunities Industrialization
Center. There is a $2.00 charge
for that performance.
Saturday, of course, is the
date of the big bash in the
Coliseum, starting at 8 pjn.,
featuring all three artists and
their groups. At a
bargain-basement price of
$3.00 per person ($2.00 for
students), it qualifies as being a
stunning concert for the
money, even taking into
account the setting.
Admittedly, it is bad form
to look a gift horse in the
mouth, but a musical event of
this magnitude brings up a
recurring sore point: the lack
of a decent, large concert hall
for Lincoln. Kimball Recital
Hall is acoustically fine, but
has a limited capacity.
Q'Donneil Auditorium is a bit
larger, but, located out on the
Wesleyan Campus, is just far
enough away from l)NL to
discourage attendance.
Pershing Auditorium, despite
the marvelous dividing drape, is
an acoustic armpit, and even
the beloved Coliseum need
much doctoring by sound
technicians for the sound to
carry much beyemd the fifth
row of seats. At this point, one
is tempted to re-press the vat
of sour grapes that resulted
from the Stuart Theater
remodeling, especially apropos
because Mulligan, Terry, and
Burton's Omxha concert was
presented at the opulent
Orpheum Theater, but Uii3 is
past history that cannot be
changed.
The Colonnades Dinner
Wednesday, april 9, 1975 ,
Theater's production of "I Do!
I Do! , opens at the Radisson
Cornhusker Hotel, 301 S. 13th
St.
Featuring Roger. Stephens,
director of the University of
Nebraska Opera Theater, and
Sandy Valdez, the show traces
a couple from their wedding
night to their "retirement"
into the joys of senior
citizenship.
" Do! I Do!" begins its run
tonight, with dinner served
from 6:30 p.m., the play itself
beginning at 8 o'clock. If it is
on par with past presentations
of the Colonnades, it will be a
show well worth seeing.
Finally, Canadien iockers
Bachman-Turner Overdrive will
be purveying their definitely
rron-subtle brand of
surface-level hard rock tonight
at Pershing Auditorium at 8
p.m. Appearing with the likely
lads with be Thin Lizzy (an
up-and-coming British act
and Bob Seger (surely someone
remembers him?). Tickets are
$6 at the door.
