Cool Jazz Receives Lukewarm Reception at High School
A Woodrow Wilson High School concert by the American Jazz Ensemble drew a large audience despite poor weather and mixed critical reaction. The program favored modernism over traditional jazz, with John Eaton's piano work on Summer Time and Debussy’s Premiere Rhapsodie highlighted as standout performances. Teens seemed to enjoy the performance even if the critic found the concert as a whole lacking in earthy jazz vitality.
