Rodney Whitaker
This week we’re visited by Professor of Jazz Rodney Whitaker. He’s the head of Jazz Studies at Michigan State University, one of the great bass players in the history of the music and a fascinating conversationalist. I’ll bring in a stack of classics and I’m sure he will too. We’ll talk about the annual commemorative concert celebrating the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., featuring Jazz Orchestra I, Vocal Jazz Ensemble I, and Gospel Choir. There are two performances, Sunday, January 18, 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Pasant Theater at the Wharton Center in East Lansing. The concerts are FREE, but you must have a ticket. So plan ahead. And listen tonight.
