Place's and Faces of Utah's Coal Country

Arts/Entertainment

Noel A. Carmack is associate professor of art at USU Eastern. He received a BFA in illustration and MFA in drawing/painting from USU. About the work in this exhibition he says: Many of the coal mines, tipples, and powerhouse stacks in Utah are beginning to disappear, due to the decline of petroleum-based energy industries. The boom-and-bust economy of southeastern Utah is turning toward more favorable efficient energy sources, so the life and traditions of the men and women who are dependent on these industries are changing. These painings and drawings represent the deteriorating structures, the weathering marks left on the landscape, and the faces of the people who live and work in the area. The work is comprised of the following: 1) industrial landscapes, featuring the machinery, structures, and tools which have been used to mine or extract the natural resources of this area, and 2) portraits of the men and women whose lives are closely tied to eastern/southeastern Utah region.

CCA's Midweek Music Series: Aggie Music Project Goes Piano-less

Arts/Entertainment

USU Music faculty Jon Gudmudson (baritone saxophone), Max Matzen (trumpet), Braun Khan (bass), and Jason Nicholson (drums), celebrate the music of the Gerry Mulligan Quartet with Chet Baker this Wednesday under the tent.

One of the more influential small groups in jazz history was the so-called "pianoless" quartet of Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Carson Smith, and Chico Hamilton. This seminal group took the musical world by storm in the early 1950s and defined a new sound and aesthetic dubbed West Coast jazz. Aggie Music Project will perform a number of the band's hits, including "Bernie's Tune," "Lullaby of the Leaves," "Line for Lyons" and many more. Bring a blanket or camp chair to the Engineering Quad, dress for the weather, and enjoy the cool sounds of West Coast jazz.
