Jake Hanna joined Toshiko Akiyoshi’s trio in Boston in 1957 after studying at the Berklee School of Music. He played with Maynard Ferguson (1958) and Woody Herman’s Orchestra (1962-64) and did extensive work as a studio musician both in and out of jazz, including ten years as the drummer for the Merv Griffin Show big band (1964-75). He recorded numerous albums for Concord Jazz, and his 1975 Grammy-nominated recording of Live at Concord, which he co-led with trombonist Carl Fontana, was the label’s biggest seller up to that point.

Learn more about this highly skilled, self-effacing jazz drummer, known as readily for his superb musicianship as he was for his wit. Join the Berklee Bookstore for a book signing and live music with Phil Wilson at 5:30PM. Then walk across the street to the Stan Getz Library for a reading, video, and interviews with the author & Berklee community members.  See the events section of the for more information:  facebook.com/StanGetzLibrary

Research You Can Do in Your Pajamas

October 17 OR 18, 1:00-1:50PM

150 Massachusetts Ave, Learning Center

Are you one of those people that can’t be bothered to come all the way to the library?  Or perhaps you’re just a chronic procrastinator, who ends up in a bind 2:00AM before a paper is due and the library building is closed?
This session will walk you through the books, magazines, and music that’s available to you without ever leaving your bed.  (Wearing pajamas to the session is optional–wearing clothes is mandatory.)

The library will be holding two identical sessions over from 1:00-2:00pm on October 17 and 18.  Sign up through the link provided on the library website: library.berklee.edu.
