Proceeds from the concert (tickets are by donation at the door, $10 adult, $5 students, seniors and Apex members) will support Apex programming and the jazz bands at Carroll High School. The Apex Arts League is proud to display its mission for arts education with a direct contribution to assist this program.
Drummer/Composer/Producer Stockton Helbing (see http://www.stocktonhelbing.com for more) has accomplished more by the age of 29 than many musicians do in a lifetime. Stockton attended the University of North Texas where he was a member of the famous One O'clock Lab Band. Immediately after graduating from North Texas, Stockton was hired by legendary trumpet player Maynard Ferguson. Stockton spent almost four solid years touring around the world with Ferguson until the jazz legend's sudden passing in August 2006. In addition to being a featured soloist, Stockton served as Music Director, as well as Producer, for Ferguson's final, Grammy nominated studio album, The One and Only. |
