SLU, SOUTHERN PLAN "CONCERT EXCHANGE"
     HAMMOND -- Southeastern Louisiana University's Jazz Ensemble, directed by music
professor and pianist Willis Delony, and famed jazz clarinetist Al Batiste and the Southern
University Jazz Ensemble have begun what the two universities hope will be an on-going
"concert exchange."
     The SLU Jazz Ensemble will perform at Southern on Monday, March 10 as part of the
university's "Founders' Day" activities. Batiste and his Southern jazz musicians plan a concert at
Southeastern's Pottle Music Building Auditorium on March 12. The 7:30 p.m. concert is free to
the public.
     At both concerts, Batiste and Delony plan to perform a clarinet-piano duet.
     For additional information, call Delony at 504-549-3991.
