JAZZ, ETC.

The Art Hodes band played its second jam session at Harvard on Saturday afternoon, appearing before a large and enthusiastic crowd in the Adams House dining hall.

Using the same lineup of Jack Butler (trumpet), George Lugg (trombone), Mezz Mezzrow (clarinet), Jack Bland (guitar), and Kaiser Marshall (drums), pianist Hodes gave the Harvard jazz fans three solid hours of improvisation such as one can't buy for love, money, or ration points around Boston. Once again the highlight of the session was a splendid version of the blues, featuring Jack Butler singing his own lyrics and then leading the band out on a series of ensemble choruses which were so superb as to overshadow everything else heard during the afternoon.

Sponsors of these jazz concerts are a group of Lowell House undergraduates headed by Charles Kallman '47. The next session is planned for September 11 and will feature Wild Bill Davison, Chicago cornetist, and Georgie Auld, well known tenor saxophonist.
