THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1954 SIX TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY 5UNT~AY, OCTOBER 10, 1954 'Mr. Jazz' To Present Musical Jam Session 'Saint Joan To Be Seen i i we~da I/a1nd4krnouwemycenti :r By DEDE ROBERTSON Along Tin Pan Alley they refer to Norman Granz, producer of "Jazz at the Philharmonic," com- ing to Ann Arbor Wednesday, as "Mr. Jazz." This is odd when one considers that he can't even play a musical instrument. Still this 36-year-old Californian rules a jazz empire grossing over five million dollars a year. Young Granz first worked as a quotation clerk some 14 years ago in the Los Angeles Stock Exchange. Every now and then he would get away from it all by rounding up some jazz musicians, putting on a jam session and charging admis- sion. On a memorable night in 1944 at the Los Angeles Philharmonic Auditorium, Granz tossed a jam- boree that "shook the rafters." JATP Is Born It was the birth of what Granz tagged "Jazz at the Philharmonic." In the next ten years, "Jazz at the Phil" became one of the most successful enterprises of its kind. Granz possesses a great amount of energy and it is all spent on the jazz he loves. When not busy with the annual JATP tours on this continent, in Europe and in lands across the Pacific, he is busily re- cording the country's leading jazz men. Back in 1944 Granz recorded his first JATP album, "How High The Moon." He has since issued 16 al- bums featuring jazzdom's top mu- sicians playing under actual con- cert conditions. Records Top Artists Granz has been foremost in re- cording under studio conditions the artistry of nearly every lead- ing jazz musician in the U.S., as well as the work of gifted newcom- ers. The jazz scene has been docu- mented by Granz on film, as well as on platters. With photographer Gjon Mili, he produced an Acad- emy Award winning short, "Jam- min' the Blues," which is consid- ered one of the best film treat- ments of jazz ever made. As he has been doing for the last ten years, Granz will personal- ly emcee the coming JATP con- cert, which will be presented at 7 and 9:15 p.m. Wednesday evening at Hill Auditorium.

MOON.I Students Union Sponsors Trip To Detroit Production Of Shaw Stage Play George Bernard Shaw's "Saint Joan" will be the destination of the second Union-sponsored trip of the semester, scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 19. Featuring Jean Arthur, star of stage and screen, the well-known historical drama will play at the Cass Theatre in Detroit. In the title role, Miss Arthur portrays the peasant girl who led an army against the English in France, and was burned as a he- retic at the stake in 1431. Joan was canonized in 1920. Jean Arthur Stars Among Miss Arthur's motion picture roles have been leads in "Shane" and "You Can't Take It with You." The actress returned to the legitimate theatre in 1950 and scored a brilliant success as J. M. Barrie's "Peter Pan," breaking all Broadway records for that play's past runs. The Detroit appearance of the production will be one of the stops on a thirty week coast-to- coast tour for the play, called "Not only Shaw's greatest play, but one of the greatest plays of the modern theatre," by John Ma- son Brown, noted critic.
