Description:
Join us for an evening of great jazz that showcases the outstanding musicians and ensembles from the University of the District of Columbia Jazz Studies Program - The House That Jones Built.
On Monday, October 17, 2005, at 8:00 P.M. the university's powerhouse big band - the UDC Jazz Ensemble - and small ensemble jazztets under the direction of Allyn Johnson continue to celebrate the life and music of Calvin Jones. Jones was director of the Jazz Studies Program from 1976-2004 and a legendary figure in the Washington, D.C. community. Produced by the Jazz Studies Program and the Felix E. Grant Jazz Archives, this tribute will kick off a year of jazz at UDC and the first event in our Scholarship Benefit Series.

Tickets are $15-general, $10-senior, $5-student, and will also be available at the University Auditorium door on the night of the performance.
