There will be selections sung by the CSN Jazz Singers and a solo piece by each member. A variety of jazz styles will be on display: swing, bebop, and R&B, among others. CSN's Dr. Mark Wherry says the tradition started in the fall of 2000 as a way for jazz students to sharpen their solo singing and gain a greater appreciation for jazz music. This is the 47th edition.
Performances will be in the Jay Morrison Recital Hall.
This is one of those music bookings that still surprises music fans even though the six-decade German electronic act has actually performed here once 11 years ago -- it was a 3D show, in fact, at the Chelsea. Great show, and it’s great they’re coming back. Kraftwerk is one of those acts audiophiles love and music fans who are unfamiliar will listen and go, hey, where I have I heard that before? This is a pioneering act in electronic music, and not only do a ton of artists take inspiration from it, but it is also frequently sampled and covered.
