Sounds Of The Present nil That Jazz Tradition and Notre Dame are two words which are frequently link- ed. At Notre Dame this does not just refer to great football dynasties or the country ' s oldest university band, but it also includes jazz. 1985 marked the 27th annual Notre Dame Colle- giate Jazz Festival, the longest con- secutive running collegiate festival in the nation. Jazz has always been, and is now, alive and well at Notre Dame. Some of the greatest movers in jazz have passed through our festival and have invariably left their mark. The ranks of the judges have included such notables as Jimmy Heath, David Hollard, Butch Miles, Stanley Cowell, Gene Bertonani, Dan Morgenstern, Paquito D ' Rivera, Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis, and Quincy Jones to name a few. The bands showcased are also some of the best in the nation. The fifteen bands that perform over the second weekend in April have come from over thirty states and include the Notre Dame Jazz Band and En- semble, Eastman, Freedonia Jazz En- semble, MIT, Northern Iowa, Ohio State, Medium Rare, and many others. Additionally, a high school festi- val is held in conjunction with the collegiate festival. The top pair of bands earns the honor of performing on Saturday night before the final set. One of the highlights of the Colle- giate Band Festival is the participa- tion of the judges on Friday night in the Judges ' Jam where one can hear jazz at its best. This combination of the judges and the high school and collegiate bands presents the Notre Dame community with perhaps the finest showcase of talent and will con- tinue to be a source of entertainment for years to come. , -Pete Horvath GIVING THEIR BEST.
