The Clayton State University Department of Visual & Performing Arts presents the Clayton Community Big Band in “Big Band Arrangements of the Music of Charles Mingus” on Monday, Nov. 30, at 7:30 p.m. in Spivey Hall. Admission is free.
Jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus (1922-1979) is regarded by many as one of the most historically significant figures in all of jazz history, particularly because of his many colorful and unorthodox compositions that rivaled the genius of his idol, Duke Ellington.
On Nov. 30, the Clayton Community Big Band (CCBB) pays homage to Mingus in a musical presentation of several big band arrangements of his compositions, many from his popular 1959 recording, “Mingus Ah Um.” Also featured are selections from the libraries of such ensembles as Buddy Rich, Gordon Goodwin, and the Tonight Show Orchestra. Other highlights include two vocal numbers featuring Clayton State music students Lianna Wimberly and Kristy Bryant.
Musicians performing in “Big Band Arrangements of the Music of Charles Mingus” include: Stacey Houghton (Rex), director and Tenor Saxophone; saxophones: Jacob Campbell (Stockbridge), David Smith (Atlanta), Carl Dixon (Morrow), Michael Terry (Meansville), and John Babb (McDonough); trumpets: Michael Anthony G. Bailey (Decatur), Mark Lewis (McDonough), Julian K. Smith, Jr. (Decatur), William Hurst (McDonough); trombones: Doug Murray (Jonesboro), Dr. Patrick Carney (Stockbridge), Amy Castillo (Jackson) and Mark Gladfelter (Ellenwood); piano: Marvin Pollock (Forest Park); guitar: Caleb Halstead (McDonough); bass: Jennifer Dunn (Lovejoy) and Tony Terrell (Forest Park); and drums: Court Tatum (Lovejoy).
The CCBB, now in its ninth year, is comprised of Clayton State music students and talented community musicians from the surrounding area.
For more information on the CCBB performance of “Big Band Arrangements of the Music of Charles Mingus,” please contact CCBB Director Houghton at HOUGHTONES@aol.com.
A unit of the University System of Georgia, Clayton State University is an outstanding comprehensive metropolitan university located 15 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta.

Atlanta 5 Wind Quintet Performs for West Georgia
The Department of Music will present The Atlanta 5 Wind Quintet in an evening of engaging 20th century chamber music for the West Georgia community.
The performance will be held on Thursday, October 22, at 8:15 P.M. at Cathy Cashen Hall in the Humanities Building at UWG in Carrollton. The concert is free and the community is welcome to attend.
The Atlanta 5, who have recently performed for Governor Sonny Perdue, are some of the original musicians who performed at the North Georgia Chamber Music Festival held each summer in Dahlonega.
The Quintet will perform music by Bozza, Barber, Ewazen and Piazzolla. Summer Music by Samuel Barber is considered one of the most difficult pieces for a wind quintet, and the recital will enthrall the audience with a range of styles from impressionistic to Tango-Terrific.
The Atlanta 5 are Elisa Lyle, flute, principal flute with the La Grange and Carrollton Symphonies; Jeannie Ohnemus, principal oboe of the La Grange Symphony; Luan Mueller, clarinet instructor at the University of West Georgia; Jim Jackson, principal bassoon with the Georgia Philharmonic; and John Pirtle, Atlanta free-lance french horn.

Zagreb Saxophone Quartet to visit UGA as Willson Center Visiting Artists
The Zagreb Saxophone Quartet will visit the University of Georgia for a one-week residency from Oct. 26-30 as Willson Center for Humanities and Arts Visiting Artists. The residency will culminate in a performance on Saturday, Oct. 31, that will kick-off the 32nd season of the Franklin College Chamber Music Series. The performance is at 8 p.m. in Hodgson Hall of the UGA Performing Arts Center. Admission is free and the public is invited to attend.
Founded by graduates of the Zagreb Academy of Music in Zagreb, Croatia, the Zagreb Saxophone Quartet has been performing with its current members since 1989. The quartet, Dragan Sremec, Goran Mercep, Sasa Nestorovic and Matjaz Drevensek, has performed the world over with symphony orchestras and big band jazz ensembles alike, under the baton of distinguished conductors as well as alongside some the world’s most renowned soloists.
Their repertoire includes pieces originally written for the saxophone quartet as well as transcriptions and arrangements of pieces by various composers of periods from the baroque to the 20th century.
“The members of this quartet have extraordinary abilities both as chamber musicians and in their interactions with students,” said Kenneth Fischer, professor of saxophone in the Hugh Hodgson School of Music and longtime colleague of the quartet members. “It’s important for our students to be able to work with these individuals over several days and get to know them as performers, as teachers and as musicians.”
The Zagreb quartet members will spend the week at UGA working with individual students in the music school, coaching quartets and teaching master classes. The residency will include mini-concerts and open rehearsals for the Saturday performance.
“These are wonderful musicians, artists who will teach our students and inspire our audiences,” said Dale Monson, director of the school. “We are grateful for the Willson Center grant that will allow for their extended stay on campus.”
Founded in 1987 and named in 2005 for its benefactors, the Jane and Harry Willson Center for the Humanities and Arts promotes scholarly inquiry and creative activity by supporting faculty research grants, lectures, symposia, publications, visiting scholars and artists, collaborative instruction, and public conferences, exhibitions and performances. The Center is a unit of the Office of the Vice president for Research.
The Franklin College Chamber Music Series was established in 1978 by former dean William Jackson “Jack” Payne and continues to be presented without charge thanks to individual contributions from music lovers and patrons of the cultural life of both the university and the community.
