HCC Big Band Provides a Great JazzPerformance

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Woody WittLast night Dr. Woody Witt’s Monday Night Jazz Big Band delivered a very fine jazz concert at HCC.   Highlighting the evening was a performace of Joe LaCascio’s composition  “Soft Focus“arranged for big band.  Tim Koshen’s saxaphone and Duane Massey’s trumpet both really captured the essence of the tune during their solos.  This Jazz class provides one of the few venues in the city to study the fading art of Big Band arrangements and soloing. Although the name of the group is rather cumbersome, I much prefer something like Woody’s Wit, or Woody’s HCC’s, the program certainly deserves the support of the entire Houston Jazz Audience, as it is providing an outstanding educational opportunity for  Houston’s jazz musicians and want-a-be musicians.

The concert was filmed by HCC-TV, and will be broadcast to the community in the second week of January.  If you missed it last night you can catch it there.
