Jazz duo dazzles Rollins crowd

In perhaps the most initmate setting for a concert, Rollins Chapel, the duo of Dwike Mitchell and Willie Ruff dazzled a full house with two hours of classic jazz last night. In a time when playing standards and ballads is considered "regressive" by some critics, Mitchell (piano) and Ruff (bass, French horn), along with Professor of Music Fred Haas (alto, tenor saxophone) put on a clinic on improvisation, technique and musical expression using tunes that have been played thousands of times by equally as many musicians.
