Excerpts
Here I am singing in the tenor section of the Masterworks Chorale in November 1996, conducted by Galen Marshall:
Before I started singing, I was a trumpet player. I played in just about every musical group at MIT, including the Symphony Orchestra, Festival Jazz Ensemble, and Concert Band. The MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble, directed by Herb Pomeroy, was one of the first three collegiate bands from the USA to perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival. Here are two excerpts from our appearance at the 1981 Notre Dame Collegiate Jazz Festival:
- T.S.T.S. by Tom Garvin
- Rhythm-a-ning by Thelonious Monk, arranged by Jeff Friedman
In Memory of Herb Pomeroy, 1930 – 2007, father of jazz at MIT
