Cate Brown, Aaron Stadelmann, and Sophia Mittlestat from Xavier kicked off our 2025 parade of guest Djs. This year, Xavier Jazz Band One received their 10th consecutive Division I rating at the State Jazz Band Festival, 3rd place at Tallcorn and Coe, 2nd place at Liberty, and 2nd Place at the NEIBA District Jazz Festival! This earned them a spot to compete in the Iowa Jazz Championships on April 8.
But most importantly, after years of hearing about JBO’s pineapple mascot, for the first time ever, we had it in-studio!
Cate, Aaron, and Sophia’s playlist:
- Etta James, At Last
- Dave Brubeck, Blue Rondo a la Turk
- Ramsey Lewis Trio, The “In” Crowd
