ln '65 COOL SAX-man, Weiss, listens intently as Paul Hurd blasts out u trumpet interlude. On Sunday afternoons the tired and the thirsty go to the Stables. There the unqualified force down a 7-up and the qualified enjoy a cool brew. But, everyone digs the progressive jazz of the Kollege Kats. The group was organized 12 years ago by Paul Hurd, trumpet player, and Hillis Crowell, pianist. Both have B.S. degrees in Music Edu- cation. The co-owners hired Buddy Weiss on sax, lack Smith on drums and Frank Hamm on bass. Weiss and Smith are both journalism majors. Weiss also composes what little written music the Kats use. The Kats don't pattern themselves after any jazz band but do their own interpretation. This cool subtle progressive style has made Kollege Kats famous in Columbia. FRANK HAMM swings out in a Kut recording session.
