Jazz Ensemble to perform tonight
The Jazz Ensemble from the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College will be in concert on Tuesday, April 17. The performance will begin at 8 p.m. in the Berry Fine and Performing Arts Center on the Rio Grande campus.
The jazz ensemble is made up of Rio Grande students, and is led by director Chris Kenney. The group is known for its outstanding jazz performances, but this concert will feature something a little different.
Special guest soloist John Horne will be joining the Jazz Ensemble for the upcoming show, and area residents will enjoy hearing this well-known regional performer.
Horne teaches guitar at Rio Grande, and performs often with his guitar throughout the region. Kenney asked the relatively new Rio Grande instructor if he would play with the Jazz Ensemble, in order to help the students learn more about jazz and to bring something special to the performance.
“He is a really incredible jazz guitarist,” Kenney said. “This gives the students an opportunity to hear somebody who is a little bit further along, and it gives them something to shoot for.” Horne will be performing solo pieces during four of the numbers during the concert.

Coffee in hand, his well-worn Converse led him around the back room at Donkey, smiling and shaking hands. Still rocking the headset he just used to run a brief onstage sound check and warm-up, John Horne looked more like the AV kid from your old high school than an accomplished guitar player.

The program has locations around the country in places including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, Nashville, Seattle, New Orleans, Chicago, and New Milford, Conn., where Horne did his stint as a teacher.
