Jazz from Bloomington

1997 "Jazz from Bloomington" CD

In 1997, as a special project of the Bloomington Area Arts Council, a CD was released entitled "IU Auditorium Presents Jazz from Bloomington." The project was conceived and produced by Peter Kienle and Monika Herzig, and includes recordings by several local groups, all of whom generously contributed their efforts. Proceeds from the CD go to the restoration of the old Indiana Theater on Kirkwood Avenue in Bloomington, now reopened as the Buskirk-Chumley Theater — although the old "Indiana" sign still hangs prominently over its facade as a reminder of the theater's glorious past and a challenge for an equally glorious future. The disc is available at local CD stores. If you've not yet heard it, get a copy and hear audible proof of the continued vitality and breadth of jazz in Bloomington.
