The Monday and Thursday Jazz Bands spent a day at Capitol Records recording for a new CD planned for the fall. Directed by Bill Bing, the groups worked with renowned engineers Charlie Paakkari, winner of two Emmys and two Grammys, and Steve Krause, score mixer for films such as the recent Miracle (on whose soundtrack Bing also played trumpet). In a studio frequented by the likes of Sinatra, Nat King Cole, James Taylor, and Ringo Starr, the bands, featuring grad students George Becker and Kjerstin Easton as soloists, recorded numbers from their recent “It’s All About Mingus” concert.
