Charlie Byrd's
Charlie Byrd, winner of
virtually every major award
available to a guitarist, will
perform with his trio at 8:15
p.m. Friday, Nov. 7, in Dana
Auditorium at Guilford Col
lege.
Individual tickets for the
Guilford College Arts Series
event may be obtained in
advance from the College
Union in Founders Hall or at
the door prior to performance.
Equally at home with
classical music and jazz, Byrd
has appeared on many major
TV shows including Today,
Tonite, Perry Como, Mike
Douglas, Kraft Music Hall,
Johnny Carson, David Frost
and Steve Allen.
He also has starred on his
own half-hour TV show from
Washington and has been the
subject of two TV productions
devoted to his unique
contribution to American
music.
Byrd has won Downbeat
magazine's International Cri
tics' Poll and, for several years
running, the Playboy Jazz
November 4, 1975
performances at the White
House.
Byrd and his trio have
toured throughout most of the
world, often at the invitation
of the State Department. He
has traveled to Europe, Saudi
Arabia, South and Central
America, the Far East,
Australia and New Zealand.
Early in his jazz guitar
career, Byrd was not satisfied
with his direction and studied
composition and classical
guitar. He received a six-week
scholarship to study with the
great Spanish guitarist Andres
Segovia at Siena, Italy.
The technical proficiency
derived from his classical
training opened up a new level
of performance -- jazz played
on a classical guitar without a
pick or amplification.
Producer of more than 50
albums of his own, Byrd and
saxophonist Stan Getz record
ed "Jazz Samba" in 1962 and
is credited with creating the
entire bossa nova craze in the
United States.

Today, when you turn on
the radio, pick up a
newspaper, or look at
television, you're bound to see
something about the Middle
East, and more specifically,
something about Israel. How
many of you have sat down
and asked yourselves or a
friend, "What's an Israel?"
Perhaps this question seems
absurd to you. But do you
really know or understand
just what all the fuss is about
in that part of our world? If
you're as informed as many
college students on world
issues are, you probably
don't.
However, there is a way to
get up to date on what's going
on--if you're interested, that
is. Lama Lo, a campus
organization, is trying to
