Woody Herman
The Jazz Kings end their 2007-08 tribute to the Age of Swing with evening dedicated to the versatile and highly
innovative clarinetist Woody Herman, who became well-known in the early '40s for his band's blues-tinged sound.
Herman outlasted them all, leading bands for over 50 years, and well after all of the other great band leaders
had called it quits.

May 14 - Jaqua
April Verch
When April Verch perform, the first thing that strikes you is the pure energy that infuses
her fiddle playing and step dancing. When you listen, what draws you in are more subtle things--her confident,
tender singing, the finely detailed elegance of her fiddle phrasing, and the depth of a repertoire that ranges
through material from Americana to simple country songs and rollicking tunes from her native Ottawa Valley
to sparkling original instrumentals.

May 16 - Shedd
Shelley James & Cal Coleman
Longtime Eugene favorites Shelley James and Cal Coleman bring their soulful, intelligent jazz/blues/gospel talents
to bear in concert at the Jaqua Concert Hall in the final installment of our 2007-08 Shedd Presents series on Friday,
May 16th. Shelley and Cal's music is hard to categorize, beyond, perhaps, the words often associated with them:
"healing", "soulful", "peace" and "unity". They aren't called "Agents of Unity" for nothing! But then, those who know
them would they are "Agents of Fine Music" just as much. Don't miss out: put it on your calendar and
get your tickets today!
