NuFusion at Woodlands Thursday night

NuFusion, Henderson State University's exciting jazz ensemble was formed more than 15 years ago, and includes about 20 student musicians featuring a standard big band horn and rhythm section with lead and background vocalists. Tickets for the Woodland’s 7:30 p.m. concert are $10 each.
Under the direction of Professor of Percussion and Jazz Dr. Rick Dimond, NuFusion is a student-arranged jazz ensemble that plays everything from 1940s big band music to current pop hits, many of the tunes featuring vocalists. Previous concerts have included music of a wide variety of artists such as Benny Goodman, Hoagie Carmichael, the Beatles, the B-52s, Ricky Martin, Harold Arlen, Aretha Franklin, Joe Cocker and more. “Our crowds know they’ll hear something they know or have at least heard before,” according to Dimond.
