See Los Fantasterrificos perform Friday night! |
Los Fantasterrificos is an
ensemble jazz group made up of three students, from the
USM Jazz Studies Program, Brent Walsh, Jaime Jiminez and
Cody Ruth and also Chris Werle who performed with Jazz
Ensembles at the University of Maine and the University of
Tennessee. The goal of this cooperative jazz combo is to
present a high-quality version of the one and only truly
American art form, which is the music we call jazz. "We
hope to grow the 'jazz scene' in Mississippi, bringing
more listeners and, ultimately, more performers into our
jazz community." The band performs jazz standards but
there are some original jazz compositions also. Brent
Walsh is on drums, Chris Werle plays trombone and vocals,
Jaime Jimenez is on keyboards and Cody Ruth is on bass.
Russell Welch will be a special guest sitting in that
evening on guitar.
