Peter Lieuwen, professor of jjsic, said Dixieland jazz has a and interesting history. It is one he earliest forms of jazz along the blues, which Preservation will feature. |ieuwen said Dixieland jazz back as far as the turn of the tury and has formed the basis ■most jazz heard today, includ- jng the sound of the great Louis ijnstrong, whose music came out pie Dixieland style. |‘lt first began with just the ms, tuba, banjo, cornet and the Inbone,” Lieuwen said. “And this C = average 1 music] featured a large amount of what is called improvisation.” Improvisation describes a style of music in which the majority of the song is made up on the spot. Much of this improvisational style can be found in the music Preser vation Hall performs. “Jazz is all about improv. In fact, the actual composition is not as important as the improvisa tion itself. r — Dr. Peter Lieuwen music professor “One of the distinguishing fea tures in the style of jazz Preserva tion Hall does is what is called col lective improv,” Lieuwen said. “This basically consists’ of several instruments [improvising] simul taneously. Mostly, this can feature the clarinet, trumpet and trom bone playing in what is called counter melodies.” Lieuwen said improv is the most important aspect of jazz. “Jazz is all about improv,” he said. “In fact, the actual composition is not as important as the improvi sation itself.” Lieuwen said this is one of the most important features for the au dience to listen for at the show. Byrd said the Preservation Hall Jazz Band act differs from other such performances OPAS brings to the A&M community. “We really 117 to bring all types [of acts] here,” Byrd said. “We have Broadway, ballet and opera^and jazz always tends to be quite popular. As opposed to something a little more serious, like ballet, for example, jazz is a little more of a relaxed event, less formal, with fun and good music.” Byrd said one goal of OPAS is to expand A&M students’ horizons and expose them to the arts. “It is important to OPAS for stu dents to experience something they have never experienced before,” Byrd said. . “Preservation Hall is great [source of] exposure to jazz and can provide a learning experience for anyone as well.” Lieuwen said bringing Preserva tion 1IUI to A&M gives students an opportunity to hear one of the best examples of Louisiana jazz. “Most of all, they are really fa mous because they have been around for a long time,” he said. “Also they are the best ensemble now as far as what they do.” Department of Student Activities OPEN HOUSE COME and Trick or Treat in the Student Activities Suite, 125 Koldus Halloween FUN!!!

Holt said people generally are able to accept any role that might be taken on during Halloween. “No one really thinks about what you do,” Holt said. “If you do something out of the ordinary, peo ple will think it’s because of the costume.” Holt said the people who wear a mask for Hal loween do so because it gives them freedom, “[It is the opportunity to] do the opposite of what you would do,” Holt said. “It is a chance to be crazy, and [lets] you take the easy way out.” orship Directory AssemBCy of gocC ‘EpiscopaC Bethel Temple Assembly of God St. Thomas Episcopal 2608 Villa Maria, Bryan 906 George Bush Dr. • College Station, IX 776-4835 (Across from Duncan Dining Hall) Sunday Worship 8:30,10:45, 6:00 pm Sunday services at 8:00, 9:00 and especially College & Career Class Sun. 9:30 for late rising Ags, 11:15 a.m. Randy Scott, Pastor Next door to Canterbury House, www.startel. net/bethel the Episopal Student Center (Baptist Lutheran First Baptist Church Bryan 200 South Texas Ave • 779-2434 Sundays: 9:30 College Bible Study, 10:50 Worship Service 8:00 pm Chapel Bible Study @ All Faiths on campus Wednesdays: 7:30 p.m. High Pointe College Bible Study www.fbcb.orgcollege@fbcb.org Beautiful Savior Ev.
