Innovative as their writing may be in terms of handling the melodic material and its harmony, the UNT band could be the Woody Herman Herd in modern sound.

This is my sole complaint of this and many other modern jazz bands, ranging from octets to full orchestras, in that they seem to have no clue of the innovative scores written from the late 1940s onwards by such early masters as George Handy, Shorty Rogers, George Russell, Eddie Sauter, Tony Scott, Hall Overton, Lalo Schifrin, Allyn Ferguson, Rod Levitt or Clare Fischer. Insofar as texture goes, the UNY Lab Band is fairly conventional, using standard trumpet and saxophone voicing. I was amazed to learn that the trumpet soloist on the first track was only 19 years old-his solo concept is fully mature and interesting-and saxist Will Nathman is only 20. Moreover, this band has its own level of excitement.

Miles Osland’s University of Kentucky “Stinkin’” series is exciting, innovative, hard-hitting jazz with unique twists of classical form and harmony while the University of North Texas has a sort of polished, neo-Kenton style reminiscent of some of his best 1960s and early ‘70s orchestras. Stan Kenton’s university jazz programs of the 1960s and ‘70s are clearly his greatest and most lasting contribution to jazz, and what I’ve found interesting over the years is that each college jazz program seems to have its own unique brand and style.

Finally, they complete their learning experience by performing these original charts in the evening as the opening acts for the One O’Clock.' Also during the clinic, they work with the composers of the charts written just for them by composition students at UNT.
