The American Embassy is pleased to sponsor the University of North Texas' One O'Clock Lab Band performance at Lazienki Park Palac na Wodzie on Monday August 15 at 12:00PM.

The One O'Clock Lab Band is the premiere performing ensemble of UNT's world-famous jazz program.

In addition to four Grammy nominations, the band has received awards from National Public Radio, VISA International, The International Association of Jazz Educators and the Dallas Observer Reader's Poll.

They have performed at the White House and with such artists as Tony Bennett and Ella Fitzgerald.

Directed by Neil Slater, who received his own Grammy nomination for best arrangement on Lab 91, the ensemble is regarded as unsurpassed among university jazz bands.

The ensemble has toured Europe, Mexico, Australia, Japan and Russia, and past members have gone on to play in bands led by Branford Marsalis, Doc Severinsen, Harry Connick, Jr., Count Basie, David Lee Roth, Woody Herman and Bill Evans.

This event is free and open to the public.
