CRAIG HARRIS JAZZ ENSEMBLE TO PERFORM AT SLU

CANTON - The Craig Harris Group, a jazz ensemble that includes 
spoken-word poetry and African drumming in its performances, 
will present a concert at St. Lawrence University on Wednesday, 
March 5, at 9 p.m. in Eben Holden. The event is open to the 
public, free of charge.
	Harris has been called "one of the most complete 
trombonists in music today, and without question one of the 
finest younger composers." A graduate of the music program 
of SUNY at Old Westbury, Harris played in Sun Ra's Arkestra 
for two years and later embarked on a world tour with South 
African pianist/composer Abdullah Ibrahim. Influenced by 
their stay in Australia, Harris played with Aborigine musicians 
and returned with a dijeridoo, a haunting wind instrument 
that has become a part of his musical arsenal ever since.
	He has performed all over the world with his own 
ensembles and has recorded numerous albums for various labels.
	For additional information, contact the music 
department at 315-229-5192.
