Background: |
Jazz Ensemble I
under the direction of Chuck Tumlinson, continues to build
an audience for its following wherever it performs, from the
Fullerton College Jazz Festival where they finished second
in the university jazz ensemble category, to the University’s
Presidents Convocation, and then as one of three university
ensembles invited to perform at “Autumn Eve,”
a tribute to Woody Herman in Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre.
In addition they have been honored to have many recent wonderful
guests artists including trumpeter Randy Brecker and saxophonists
James Moody and Herb Geller.
In regards to the program, Tumlinson chose some
of the selections with a special purpose in mind. Tumlinson
explains, “I choose ‘My Lament’ as a showcase
piece for Jeff, providing him a spotlight to share his consummate
musicianship in this his final concert before graduating.
He is an exquisite player and participated in the all-Cal
State Jazz Ensemble that performed in April at Long Beach
State, and he’s been invited to return to the Henry
Mancini Institute this summer,” states Tumlinson. “Other
selections chosen are in celebration of the lives and music
of two great jazz artists this world lost in the last year.
‘Silverado’ I chose in memory of Bob Berg, a great
contemporary jazz tenor saxophonist who died suddenly in a
car accident last December, and ‘Red Top’ for
Lionel Hampton, legendary jazz vibist and band leader who
passed away in August, 2002.”
