Today’s Corridor Jazz Recording of the day features the Iowa City West High School Jazz Ensemble, directed by Rich Medd, with guest artist Chris Merz.
The Huntertones are a Brooklyn-based band making quite a stir on the east coast. They attracted the attention of West alum and New York musician Gabe Medd, who recommended “Star of the East” to his dad.
Merz directs the jazz department at the University of Northern Iowa.
