Seven members of the ensemble, directed by professor Andrew Classen, recently were selected for the Iowa College All-Star Big Band. The ensemble s latest CD, Rush Hour, received high praise from reviewer Jack Bowers in a recent issue of Cadence magazine. Director Andrew Classen has clearly worked hard to sculpt his underclassmen into a single-minded unit, and the effort has paid handsome dividends, Bowers wrote. The ensemble will travel to Europe in July to perform at the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands as well as jazz festivals in England and Scotland. Thursday, April 19, at Olmsted Center.
