Jazztet guitarist John Horne was recently interviewed for The Guitar Hero series on Jemsite.com, a website devoted mostly to Ibanez guitar enthusiasts. The Guitar Hero series features interviews with guitarists and musicians who may not have star status but are guitar heroes in their own right.

Coming up on March 10 we’ll be welcoming back our friend Kris Keith on flute. To kick off the night, Kris will be performing a couple of jazz arrangements with the Shimmering Silver (the Ohio University Flute Ensemble) and then joining us for the rest of the evening. We’re still working up a set list, and talking about some of the following tunes: Little Sunflower, Blues March, Affluencia, It’s Only A Paper Moon (with a Latin feel!) For All We Know, Limbo Jazz, A Weaver of Dreams, I’ll Remember April, and Blues Walk.

We really hope you can join us, playing with Kris is sure to be a blast!

For Winter quarter, the time for our monthly Second Tuesday Jazz series has moved up one hour to 7:00pm. Here’s the complete lineup:

On January 13 we’ll be welcoming vocalist Angela Blair. Angela was originally scheduled to perform with us in the Fall but had to reschedule due to illness. On February 10 Ernie will be showcasing some talented Ohio University string students he’s been working with and on March 10 we’ll be welcoming back the fantastic Kris Keith on flute. We hope you can join us!
