Cornell jazz ensembles concert April 30

MOUNT VERNON — Two Cornell College jazz ensembles will perform Sunday, April 30, at 3 p.m. in Kimmel Theatre of Youngker Hall on the Cornell campus. Admission is free.

The 3 O’clock Big Band will feature two tunes by Duke Ellington, “Do Nothin’ Til You Hear From Me,” with sophomore vocalist Amelia Engelbert, and “The Star-crossed Lovers.” The band will close its part of the program with the burning funk of “Chicken Scratch” by Kris “El Pollo Loco” Berg.

The 5 O’clock Experimental Jazz Combo will present an eclectic set including the Superblue arrangements of “Open Sesame” and “Blue Bossa,” the modern stylings of John Mill’s “Hover-Speed” and Ed Wilson’s “Jump and Jive” and the New Orleans’ heat of “Basin Street.”

The ensembles are directed by Don Chamberlain, associate professor of music.
