8The Daily Tar Heel Friday. February 15. 1985 Talented lineup in store for UNC jazz festival it 2 1 v. 1 I fWW By ALEXANDRA MANN Staff Writer Jazz. "It's the form of expression for me," said Carol Sloane, one of the artists who will perform at the UNC Jazz Festival this weekend.

In addition to Sloane's talents, the festival will host Slide Hampton on trombone, Pat LaBarbera on saxophones, and a variety of other performers, including students and faculty from UNC and other schools. "I grew up the product of this sort of thing," said Jim Ketch, an assistant professor of music at UNC who organized the. festival. "I always enjoyed it when musicians came on campus, and I think it's very worthwhile. It's an educational stimulus when good people like this share their talents." This afternoon, Hampton and LaBarbera will run clinics for music students, after which there will be performances, by high-school and college jazz ensem-bles.

UNC-Wilmington, UNC-Charlotte, and Western Carolina University are just a few among them. Hampton and LaBarbera will critique the students afterward so that their performances will also be learning experiences. "There's quite a big UNC jazz audience," said Rah Bickley, chairman of the Union Public Relations Committee, "and it's free, so we're hoping theyH come." The Carolina Union has joined the department of music for the second year in a row in putting the festival together. The joint funds allow the festival to be free while enlisting the talents of good artists. "This way," said Susan Fowler, chairman of the Performing Arts Committee, "if students aren't sure they'll like it, they won't risk losing any money, and they can form an opinion, good or bad, about this type of music." Sloane, the only vocalist performing this weekend, has not only recorded 14 albums in her 33-year career, but is coming out with another one, with some material from 1977, in about two months.

The record will be on the Audiophile label. She is currently writing a book, and has her own show, Sophisticated Lady, on WUNC radio. Though originally from New England, Sloane said she is very happy to be in North Carolina. "The Triangle," she said, "has an enormous range of alternatives musically. We have a tremendous variety, and I think that's healthy.

I like the atmosphere here even better than in New York or Chicago." This weekend Sloane will perform songs by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, as well as her favorite song, "I Want Something to Live For," which she said is also one of Ella Fitzgerald's favorites. "All Duke Ellington's are my favorites to sing," she said. "They are also my favorite to listen to. Ellington has a personal appeal to me. It's the way they're written.

They're challenging to sing because they're interesting to listen to." Tomorrow night, along with Hampton and LaBarbera, the UNC Jazz Band will perform. The band is composed entirely of UNC undergraduates, music majors and non-majors alike, under Ketch's direction. "The most sincere thing I can say about this thing," Ketch said, "is that we have these three artists who have literally devoted their lives to this music, and it's an exhilarating experience to see them live." Hampton and LaBarbera, like Sloane, have also had full careers. Hampton has been a jazz artist, composer, arranger and educator. He led an octet as well as a trombone group, and has recently returned from working in Europe to resume a career in the United States.

LaBarbera was, from 1967-74, the saxophone soloist for Buddy Rich's orchestra, and over the past decade has been a member of the Elvin Jones Jazz Machine. All three of these artists will display their talents tonight and tomorrow night, with all the jazz they have. "We have an integrity," Sloane said, "which is to remain true to the traditions." The UNC Jazz Festival will feature concerts at 8 p.m. today and tomorrow in Hill Hall Auditorium. Call 962-1039 for more information.
