WMU’s faculty jazz ensemble received a four-star review from storied jazz magazine Downbeat for Free Fall, our recent CD. Writer John Ephland praises Free Fall’s many “nice surprises” and remarks admiringly that the group “places academic acuity on the back-burner” in favor of a more “impressionistic” approach.
The WJQ will celebrate the CD’s success with a special release concert in Kalamazoo at Dalton Recital Hall on Friday, September 12. In October, we’ll spread the Free Fall love in Indiana, performing at Indiana University in Bloomington on October 13th and at Butler University in Indianapolis on October 14th.
