Just as Jude Biwer and Ben Drzycimski arrived for their guest DJ shows, we learned that Carl Rowles and Matthew Nicholson had just been named the new directors of the Cedar Rapids Jefferson band program. Mr. Nicholson has been a part of the Jefferson program during his student teaching years and helped Steve Stickney from Mt. Mercy and Corridor Jazz guest artist Rich Medd during this transition year.
Jude made sure to get some jazz tuba into the mix with the Japanese group Seat Belts, Ben contributed some Paul Desmond that helped inform his own sax soloing, plus Glenn Miller, Lee Morgan, and more.
