11/3/11 - CAO Infiltrates CBN

Last night on Party O'Clock, U-M's Creative Arts Orchestra took over WCBN, setting up three groups (one in the FM, one in Prod A, and one in the rock and world CD section). It was quite awesome (if I do say so myself). Fortunately for you lucky internet dogs and jazz cats, plenty of videos were taken. Let's call it "website exclusive content" to make this blog seem important.
CAO is a group dedicated to improvising music on the spot, some of it serious, some of it silly, some of it from outer space, some of it funky as hell. The ensemble is directed by Mark Kirschenmann. We are playing next Thursday, November 10, at Rackam Auditorium. (Which means no Party O'Clock for Kirsten.) You should come. Seriously. Do it.
Here are some videos of CAO:
