O'Dell, who is director of jazz ensembles at Augustana College, will be joined by Dr. Jessica Johnson in presenting the premiere of the Schuller piece. Johnson is assistant professor of piano and theory in the Augustana Music Department. A past president of the New England Conservatory of Music, Schuller won the Pulitzer Prize for music in 1994 for his symphonic piece Of Reminiscences and Reflections . O'Dell's recital will also include two works which will be included on a compact disc recording he will release this summer on the Southport label. The Ship is one of O'Dell's own compositions, and is based on a poem by the late Denise Levertov.
