Background: |
The program features the new work, "Insects I Have
Known and Loved," written by CSUF faculty composer
Ken Walicki-who has had other works performed by Jazz
Ensemble I, and garnered acclaim at last year's Reno
Jazz Festival. Also with his hand in composing and
arranging, CSUF student Tim Gill, arranged Cole Porter's "What
is This Thing Called Love" for this group he performs
with. "Duet" a tune by Neal Hefti, features 2 of CSUF's
top jazz trumpet players Brian Mantz and Tim Gill.
And also featured on the program is the popular "23º N,
82º W" by Bill Russo which was the inspiration
for the classic Sinatra/Nelson Riddle tune "I've Got
You Under My Skin" made famous by Stan Kenton.
Jazz Ensemble I consistently receives high scores and acclaim
at major west coast jazz festivals. They have been featured on a live radio
broadcast across North America as part of the Playboy Jazz Festival. Jazz
Ensemble I has performed, by invitation, at many leading Southern California
festivals and events.
Chuck Tumlinson director of the jazz program since 2001,
has led the CSUF ensembles in appearances at the International Association
