Just thought I would let everybody know that the Jim Widner Big Band (18  
pieces) will be in residence at Cal State Sacramento, all this coming  week.  We 
are doing a jazz camp for both youth and adults and we will be  playing a free 
concert every night from Sunday through Friday at 8 PM in the  theater at the 
music department. (Wednesday night off)  You can also come  during to day if 
you would like to see some clinics, improv classes, big band  and combo 
rehearsals.
While it is technically not the OKOM for this list, it is a killer big band  
with some pretty well known alumni of all the big bands.  Some names you  
might recognize are: Kim Richmond-sax, Gary Hobbs-drums, Mary Fettig-sax, John  
Harner, Mike Vax, Clay Jenkins and Steve Campos-trumpets. The programs are  
really varied, with some "old chestnuts" as well as brand new stuff written for  
the band.
Hope to see some of you there. Please come up and say "hi" if you get  there.
Mike Vax
