Given a long history of other more qualitative indicators, especially the continuing tradition of guest artists of the caliber of Jimmy Heath, it is fair to say that the program's visibility is based on an extraordinary tradition of excellence. The concert also will feature NIU student vocalists, Nicholas Brooks and Meredith Mars. Brooks is a freshman business administration and vocal performance double major. She has traveled throughout the country performing for the Chicago Cubs, Sesame Street on Ice, Universal Studios at Disneyland, and the Illinois Cabinet and Legislature. The NIU Jazz Ensemble fall concert featuring guest artist Jimmy Heath is scheduled for Thursday, November 19 at 8 p.m. in the Duke Ellington Ballroom.
Admission is free.
