jazz anyone who hasnt heard of them doesnt follow the local music scene and they play with the kind of enthusiasm that compliments their style of jazz perfectly For Dixieland fans of which there must be con siderable number judging from the turnout for the concert Fig Leaf is local blessing Wednesday night they ran through their standard reper toire of classic tunes like Sweet Georgia Brown St

Times 700 900 Jazz provides kiCkoff for park concert series YNDY FRY Iots of potential have been showstopper but the low volume on her mike prevented her voice from stan ding out against the instrumen tal accompaniment If Miss Fry sings with the band again and hope she does she deserves better sound balance Filling in for the regular trumpeter in the band was Freddy Zimmerman who for the most part fitted in well with the other players HVTRODUCING Dixieland jazz finds its strength in good ensemble playing and the Fig Leaf band was usually suc cessful in projecting an even sound with highlighted solos by individual players Banjoplayer David Itawlings and clarinetist John Gould con tributed vocals to the concert two of the better numbers were Blueberry IIIII and St James Infirmary The Fig Leaf players have good time when they play and that usually means the air dience has good time too At the park concert everyone from the youngsters in the front row to the veteran Dixieland fans got into the swing of the music The Fig Leaf concert was the first in series of weekly con certs scheduled for Centennial Park this summer The next concert on lune 28 will feature the Barrie stage band lead by
