Don Owens and the South High School Jazz Ensemble

Don Owens spent time working with the South High School Jazz Ensemble this evening. Professor Owens is a guest conductor and clinician for the South High School Jazz Ensemble as they prepare for their performance at the 65th Midwest Clinic on Thursday, December 15, 2011. Professor Owens is the retired director of jazz studies at Northwestern University. D.O., as he is affectionately known by his proteges, blends passion, musicianship, humor and craftmanship in his teaching style in a singularly unique manner. Sister Sadie has never sounded better than when D.O. was finished working with the ensemble.
