Do they know good jazz from had? Thara Memory, noted trumpeter, composer and dir ector of the music depart ment at Albina Art Center, believes that most people really know very little. “As a result," he says, “a lot of really poor music is pushed off onto the public by the big powers, and most people don’t know the difference. They think it's good because it’s what they're used to hearing. Much of it is not jazz at all, but cocktail music." A real understanding, therefore, is the aim of a unique nine week course, “Jazz Appreciation", to be offered by the Community Services Division of Portland Community College. Classes will begin Monday, January 7, from 7 to 9 p.m. in room C-10 of the Student Union building at PCC's Cascade Center, 705 N. Killingsworth. The cost is $9.00. Memory, who will teach the class, plans to alternate the classroom situation with "participation" in concerts throughout the city. The audience is as much a parti cipant in a jazz concert as the musicians," he explains, “because they contribute to the moods and feelings of the musicians." Asked if a prior knowledge of music is necessary in this course. Memory answered with an emphatic "no", and explained that he would build appreciation from demonstra tions of basic rhythms, pro gressing through the various Music lovers who fondly remember the days gone by when music was not hard on the ears are in for good news.

It can be a quick lunch, a fun dinner and it even provides entertainment for guesta late in the evening. If you have been dis couraged by long and in volved fondue recipes, take heart. An easy, make-at-the- table-in rnmutes recipe has been developed. And it's not expensive, either. Sim ply melt a package of old English cheese slices in a cup of Rhine wine. Add a little flour to thicken, and it’s ready The Wine Fondue is shown here with crisp French bread, but any kind of bread will do. You can eat dessert at the same time by dip ping thin apple slices in the cheese mixture. Experience has shown that it would be a good idea to have extra ingre dients on hand, ready to make more.

Thara Memory, director of the music department at the Albina Art Center, will teach “Jazz Appreciation" at Port land Community College beginning January 7th. types of jazz music. In addition, he expects to play records of good music com posed and played by really good jazz musicians, and then bring an under standing of their backgrounds and lifestyles. In this way, he feels his students will come to know the real origin of what they hear. "People looked at the smiling face of Ixmis Arm strong," Memory pointed out, “but they never thought of what Louis went through to be where he was. They didn’t really understand the man, and so while they may have enjoyed his music, they could not really appreciate it; really understand it." In short. Memory hopes to break through the miscon ceptions about jazz, to get rid of the intellectualism that he feels surrounds it, and to help people see it as he does: a music reflection of individuals.
