An expanse of heads nodded rhythmically until a galloping accelerando brought the audience to their feet. The cliche goes that MJQ is a hybrid of jazz and chamber music.

But this has not cramped his style at all. In fact, his extension of new music past the limits of the Jazz-rock hybrid has made Jarret a genuine innovator. As a special attraction the Harvard Jazz band will be appearing too--so go. October 31 at Sander's Theater. All tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the Holyoke ticket center...
