Alec Templeton
Here in Concert
Alec Templeton, world-renowned pianist, will give a
concert in the Auditorium
Saturday night, April 7, at 8
p.m. His appearance here is
being sponsored by the Lyceum
committee.
A unique figure In the world
of music, the blind Templeton
is a man who through his love
of music has been able to
speak with authority, warmth,
and clarity both to those who
like classical music and to
those who prefer it in the popular vein. Versatility best describes the pianist, composer
and wit, star of concert stage,
radio, television, and recordings.
As composer, Templeton has
both a serious and light side.
With two string quartets, a
song cycle, numerous compositions for piano and other Instruments, with or without
piano obllgato, he holds a
prominent position among
semi-classical composers today. On the lighter side, almost everyone is familiar with
such compositions as his "Mr.
Bach Goes to Town," "Mozart
Matriculates," and "Scarlatti
Stoops to Conga" in his series
of Modernising the Masters,
which are published and which
he himself has recorded.
Alec Templeton's recitals,
combining the noblest music
with lighter fun, illustrate his
complete sincerity in touching
both the classic and popular
elements of music.

Jazz Foursome
In Aud April 10
By Woody Holm
In the last two years, the
jazz world has become quite
excited over the Modern Jazz
Quartet, which will appear In
the Auditorium April 10. The
excitement is mainly due to
the  work   of  John   Lewis,   a
fiianist who has been known
n Jazz circles for some years.
The reason for the group's acclaim can be understood after
a study of their contrapuntal
weavings and adoption of traditional classical forms—and
all done within the jazz art
form. And they swing, too!
That ls not to say that the
"uninitiated" cannot appreciate this fine group, though.
The individual melodic lines
are cleanly stated and beautiful in concept. Lewis himself
does most of the arranging
and composing, and here we
have one of the interesting
problems of jazz; does it have
to be improvised, or can it be
arranged? The MJQ does both.
Within carefully constructed
arrangements, the individuals
are allowed to project their
emotions and thoughts. For
those who like experimentation, there is, specifically, the
work of drummer Connie Kay,
who thinks of his instruments
as having melodic as well as
rhythmic duties. Percy Heath
firovides Interest with a bass
hat is not confined to beats
but conceives in melodic terms.
Finally, there are the sensitive vibes of Milt Jackson.
Tickets are now on sale at
the Bookstore. After the MJQ,
Woody Herman and his new
herd will appear May 17.
