Case Western Snowball 2006

Jazz vocalist Cody Wood kept their feet moving at Snowball 2006 held at Myers University Club on February 17. He was backed by the Northcoast Jazz Collective, one of the top jazz groups in Cleveland. The group was followed by high intensity DJ dance music. Organized by the Case Western Reserve University Class Officers, the semi-formal dance included a fashion show.

Cody is a Case biomedical engineering junior. He is double majoring in music with voice and violin as his instruments. The American songbook of standards is voiced to the times by his phrasing and rhythm backed by the sound of the Northcoast Jazz Collective. The responsive audience of several hundred kept the place swirling with dance and light hearted chatter and laughter, and plates of delicious foods moved about the room.

Northcoast Jazz Collective is comprised of Mark Grey on drums, Dan Maier, piano, and John Gallo on acoustic bass, pictured from left with Cody Wood on right. Dave Frank was missing Friday night on tenor saxophone, soprano sax and flute. (www.northcoastjazzcollective.com)
