The UAA Department of Music is sponsoring the first concert in its annual Jazz Concert Series, Wednesday, September 24, at 7:30 p.m. in the Arts Building Recital Hall.
This concert will feature New York City's Glenn White (tenor sax) with Barney McClure (piano) from Fairbanks and local artists Cameron Cartland (drums) and Dirk Westfall (bass).

Advance Tickets: $2 UAA students, $5 seniors, students and military and $10 general admission.
