Historical April 1978 reporting or notice. Original dates, services, fees and contacts describe the period; current availability has not been established.

The St. Louis Jazz Quartet with Jeanne Trevor, John Brooks’ Forecast, and the Metropolitan Jazz Ensemble featuring Freddie Washington will combine their talents in concert at Washington University’s Graham Chapel on April 4.

In addition to a set by each group, the audience will be treated to a jam session as the grand finale.

One of the sidelights of the evening will be a father-son combination with bassist John Mixon holding forth with the Metropolitan Jazz Ensemble while son Darrell plucks strings with John Brooks’ Forecast. Terry Kippenberger, of course, will be doing his thing on bass with the St. Louis Jazz Quartet.

The horn component for the evening will include some of the area’s finest reed men — Freddie Washington, John Brooks, and Willie Akins in addition to the talented Ben Jones on brass.

Holding down the percussion section will be master drummers Chuck Carter, Bensid Thigpen, and Steve Davis.

The keyboard virtuosos will include Ray Kennedy, Drew Slusser, and Jimmy Mathews.

Rounding out this group of pros will be master guitarist Richard Martin and the multi-talented Jeanne Trevor on vocals. Trevor and Brooks (who also sings) may even join forces for the finale.

This “Unique Event” will be presented by The St. Louis Jazz Society, Inc. and the Washington University Student Union.
