Australian James Morrison, who has performed for two U.S. presidents and the Queen of England, will join the UCF Jazz Professors for a concert\u00a0Tuesday, Jan. 26, in the Visual Arts Building Auditorium, Room 132.<\/p>\n
The concert, hosted by the UCF School of Performing Arts, will be a medley of songs decided right before the show. This technique, known as \u201ccalling tune,\u201d is common among jazz musicians, said UCF trumpet professor John Almeida. A musical virtuoso, Morrison is adept with the piano, trumpet, saxophone, double bass and all the brass instruments.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t know how many instruments Mr. Morrison will bring to the concert. He has a steamer trunk full of instruments and you can never tell which ones he\u2019s going to bring out,\u201d Almeida said.<\/p>\n
