All that jazz . . .
Hep fans dig bands

Modern jazz -- some of it ice-blue, much of it fiery-red -- bombarded an excited audience and firmly shook a standing ovation from it when the North Texas "Jazztet" and the Lab Bands combined for their annual fall concert.

Soloist Don Gililland epitomized the excellence of all the young musicians. Twice a winner of the best guitarist award at Notre Dame, he created a haunting, eerie mood with his own composition "Theme to Someone."

The 1 O'clock Lab Band repeatedly thrilled jazz fans with its nine numbers, which included jazz versions of Debussy's "Afternoon of a Faun" and Lennie Niehaus' "Original by Lennie."
