Dance founder subject of panel OLSON from page 11 ed with the company,” he said. Because the panelists have con nections with Weidman, Bowlin said, they will talk about more than just facts about his life. “They all know a lot of fun, anecdotal stuff, and they will have a lot of stories,” he said. Part of the presentation uses a video about Weidman, and Bowlin said it helps the audience by giving them visual elements of Weidman’s choreography. He encouraged people to come and be a part of the discussion because it is a chance to learn something new. “It’s a chance to learn about a person who was so very important in the evolution of modern dance,” he said. “This is one of these gems in Nebraska that a lot of people don’t know about.” He said he thought the event would have more excitement than most people might think. “One can think it might be dry, but I think it should be fun,” he said. “This is a neat way to learn about the early movement of mod ern dance and also what is different and unique about Weidman’s style from others at that time.” “Dance and the Work of Charles Weidman” takes place Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. A reception begins at 3 p.m. The discussion will be held in the Great Plains Art Collection in Love Library.

Ensemble highlights skilled jazz students JAZZ from page 11 Rob McConnell (of Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass), and all of his pieces are always ingeniously written rhythmically and technically,” Sharp said. The UNL Jazz Ensemble will play the jazz standard “Like Someone In Love,” arranged by Roger Myers; McConnell’s “Sambanice”; Julian “Cannonball” Adderley’s “Things Are Getting Better,” arranged by McConnell; David Berger’s “Manquez Juste”; Duke Ellington’s “In A Mellotone,” arranged by Myers; Thad Jones’ “Don’t Get Sassy”; Sammy Nestico’s “The Queen Bee”; and Billy Strayhorn’s “Chelsea Bridge,” arranged by Nestico. Perhaps because two of McConnell’s tunes are on the pro gram, the saxophone section will have more to do than normal, Sharp said. “Things Are Getting Better” features a tricky saxophone solo section where everyone in the sec tion has a difficult part equivalent to an improvisation, Sharp said. In addition, there also is a short peri od of collective improvisation among the saxes in this piece. “Queen Bee” is one of the more fun pieces on die program for Sharp because it was the first straight ahead swing tune he ever learned in junior high school, he said. Also performing during the Wednesday night concert is the UNL Jazz Small Group. This group features Cory Biggerstaff on bass, Cain on tenor saxophone, l&'Jn 898WOii Justin Kohmetscher on trumpet, Rich Miller on drums, Nick Phillips on piano, Andy Strain on trombone and Valentine on guitar. All are UNL undergraduate stu dents, Sharp said. The Jazz Small Group will play Miles Davis’ “All Blues”; Kohmetscher’s original composi tion “Westbrook (Small Suite for Jazz Band)” and Herbie Mann’s “Memphis Underground.” The overall program is fun to listen to, Sharp said. “People just need to come hear this concert because if they do they will realize how enjoyable listen ing to jazz is,” Sharp said. “A lot of this music will make the listener want to tap their foot.” Rusty White, usual Jazz Ensemble conductor, had another gig to play this weekend, which put Sharp in the unusual position of being a last-minute substitute con ductor. But filling is not all that diffi cult, Sharp said. “All I do is come in and say ‘go.’ They’ve already done all the work. I’m just there to guide (the Jazz Ensemble),” Sharp said. “Unless I make a major mis take, I can’t possibly screw them up. They already know how it goes.” Some of the ensemble mem bers really seem to enjoy his pres ence, Sharp said. “The kids like having different conductors because it increases their musical range,” he said. The UNL Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Small Group concert is tonight at 8 in Westbrook Recital Hall.
