A Few Tunes ... The Faculty Jazz Quintet

The Faculty Jazz Quintet will open with a set of standard tunes featuring Daniel Geeting (pictured) on tenor saxophone and Peter Woodford on guitar joined by John Hester, bass, Eric Kinsley, piano and Ryan McCarty, drums.

The CLU Saxophone Quartet with Richard Bunter and Don Nardone, soprano and alto, Daniel Geeting, tenor, and Spike Evans, baritone will then perform Gordon Jacob’s more classically oriented Saxophone Quartet. They will follow it with a novelty piece called "Sax Lix."

The big finish will combine the groups in a suite of pieces by Lennie Niehaus called Jazz Mosaics #1.

Geeting has taught at CLU since 1984. He teaches clarinet and conducts the University wind ensembles and symphony. Hester performs with many orchestras including the Pasadena, New West and Santa Barbara symphonies. Kinsley, a senior music lecturer, has performed and lectured in venues including the Getty Center, the Huntington Library and the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Woodford has been playing guitar professionally since 1969, including 19 years with The Doc Severinsen NBC Tonight Show Band. McCarty is a CLU junior majoring in music.
