Q' ',f . t 'i. i .. 3 _g k By Pete Williams O NCE again, it's time to go cruisin' with Ann Arbor's local music scene. For those of you who were not yet of Ann Arbor consciousness two years ago, this music cruise is a return trip. It's Cruisin' Ann Arbor II, the sequel album to the Ann Arbor Music Project's 1982 release. Although the production has been tightened up on Cruisin' II (It's being mixed in a studio this time instead of someone's living room), the idea behind the sequel is the same as that of Cruisin'. That idea is to showcase local bands and elicit interest in the Ann Arbor music scene. "We're trying to get national attention focused inward," said Tom Witaker, drummer with Map of the World, one of the bands included in the new album. "We want to make it so bands don't have to go to another city to get attention-so they can make it here." Witaker is part of the Ann Arbor Music Project, a local group of promoters, musicians, and the like that is producing Cruisin' II. AAMP was the producer of the original Cruisin' two years ago, and the group felt that this year would be a good one to resurrect the idea. "It's something we'd like to do every couple of years," Whitaker said. "It was also a. self-conscious thing," Whitaker added. "We didn't feel we had enough jazz on the first album and some of the younger bands have a real following." As far as the production, mixing will be done at Al Nalli Studios, which is in the process now of being equipped for Cruisin II. Instead of the 8-track recor- dings AAMP made for the original Cruisin', they will use 16 track machines-a change the producers believe will greatly increase the quality of the master recordings. "I think the bands we have are professional enough to put in a good recording session," said P.J. Ryder, who is also involved in AAMP. "I'm confident they can do it." This time around, jazz is taken care of. Tonight's recording session, which will be done live at U-Club, will feature an all jazz program with Lunar Glee Club, Ron Brooks Trio (with special guest, The Bill Lucas Quartet), and Kathy Moore and Stephanie Ozer. Like the jazz session, all recording sessions for the album will be held at 9:30, tonight through Saturday night at the U-Club. Thursday night's theme strays away 4 from jazz and toward more traditional rock and roll with The Buzztones, Steve Nardella's Rock and Roll Trio, and the ever-popular Watusies. On Friday, it's time for pop rock. Aluminum Beach, Map of the World, and The Slang-to be exact. And, the last night will be-for lack of a better term-alternative music night. Satur- day night's bands are The State, Sud- den Death, and The Evaders. Ryder said he is pleased with the diverse music offered by the bands. "We have one jazz night, which is something we didn't have on the last album," he said. "And we also get the other side, with a little more heavy metal-type music." 4 AAMP is starting by putting 2000 albums in the record stores and Ryder looks for a receptive market in the Ann Arbor area. "I think that more than 2000 people will want to snap up an album," he said. "A lot of people will just want to get one on their way out of Ann Arbor to try and remember the bands they saw." The Buzztones will be one of the local bands featured on Cruisin' Ann Arbor II. The band will hold a live recording session at 9:30 on Thursday in the U-Club.
