Jazz, salsa and a girl rock band

What more could you ever want in the middle of the week? If you don’t know what you’re doing tomorrow night, have no fear; the Fine Arts Center is here! This Wednesday is quite merry! For those of you who don’t know, the Roswell Rudd/Mark Dresser Duo comes to UMass tomorrow night serending audiences with their music brilliance.

Dresser “may be the most important bassist to emerge since 1980 in jazz or classical music.” This event is held at the Bezanson Recital Hall at 8:15pm. Student tickets cost $5 and general tickets are $10.

However, if that doesn’t suit your mood, why not go to a salsa dance party at the free Community Salsa Party?!? The party’s at Open Square in Holyoke, Wednesday, October 17th from 7-11pm.

Music will be provided by Combo Sabroso, a Boston-based band that follows in the traditions of Eddie Palmieri and Tito Puente with a mix of jazz and dance rhythms.

AND… yes, there’s more. If you just want to just chill and relax, we have an event for you. Every Wednesday, Asian Arts and Culture presents foreign films from around the world. This week, the film called ‘Linda! Linda! Linda!’ will be screened in the School of Management in room 137 at 7:00 pm.
