Jazz scene: Emmy Award–winning composer Jeff Beal ’85E (standing), whose scores for television include the ominously dissonant music for the acclaimed Netflix series House of Cards, leads a small group session with Eugene Bisdikian ’17E (bass), graduate student Chase Ellison (drums), Billy Petito ’17E (guitar), C. J. Ziarniak ’17E (saxophone; sitting), and Matt Blom ’16E (trumpet; sitting) in Howard Hanson Hall. Beal and his wife, vocalist Joan Sapiro Beal ’84E, were guests in residence this spring at the Eastman School of Music, where they led talks with students and faculty and performed in concert.
