Uptown Jazz Series - Jazz and Television - Duquesne Univ. Jazz - at Mary Pappert School of Music

Mike Tomaro, Artistic Director

In the heyday of the TV theme (1960sā€“1980s), jazz featured prominently in the theme songs written by Lalo Schifrin, Quincy Jones, Oliver Nelson, and many others. Many cartoons of that era also contained jazz-inspired music. This concert will feature a collection of old and new themes.
