Well beyond winter, but concerns linger over cancellation of the Winter Carnival central campus snow sculpture this past February.

Since 1986 Fred Haas has been in the College’s music department, teaching classes in jazz history, jazz improvisation, music theory, saxophone and jazz piano. He also oversees a weekly jazz performance lab. Fred has performed with jazz greats, including Oscar Peterson, Ray Charles, Pat Metheny, Clark Terry, Milt Jackson, Joe Morello, Don Cherry, Karrin Allyson, Matt Wilson, Gene Bertoncini, John Proulx. Jazz guitarist Pat Metheny describes him as “a totally world-class saxophone player.” Jazz trumpet legend Clark Terry said, “You won’t find a more capable jazz player and teacher than Fred Haas, and that’s a fact!” Fred has recorded numerous CDs, including several for his own Jazz- Toons label. This August Fred is leading an alumni travel trip to Paris. Anyone with an interest in enhancing their musical listening skills, discussing the impact American jazz had on Parisians after World War I, delving into the lives of expatriate jazz musicians who made their homes in Europe or acknowledging the importance of European jazz musicians and their influence might consider joining Fred on this excursion.
