One O'Clock Lab Band
The One O’Clock Lab Band for years has been the premier ensemble of the Jazz Studies Division at the University of North Texas College of Music in Denton. The band has performed and toured in Australia, Canada, England, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Switzerland, Thailand, and The Netherlands. Since the 1970s, the band’s albums have received six Grammy nominations, including two for ''Lab 2009.'' Steve Wiest, a three-time Grammy-nominated composer-arranger-director and Associate Professor of Music, directed the O'Clock Lab Band from 2008 through the summer of 2014.〔(Ellen Rossetti (born 1978), "UNT One O’Clock Lab Band to perform with Houston Symphony," ) ''JazzTimes,'' November 8, 2010〕 Jay Saunders, a veteran of the Stan Kenton Orchestra, has been interim director since 2014.〔("One O'Clock Lab Band Welcomes Jay Saunders as Interim Director," ) UNT News Service, April 4, 2014〕 The One O’Clock is the highest of nine peer lab bands at the college, each named for its hour of rehearsal and each a standard 19-piece big band instrumentation — five saxophones, five trombones, five trumpets, piano, guitar, bass, and drums.〔''Jazz Leader Helps a Band Take Giant Steps,'' by Eric Todd Kelderman (born 1966), ''Chronicle of Higher Education,'' August 2008, vol. 54, no. 48, pg. A6〕 The One O’Clock evolved from an extracurricular stage band founded in 1927 into a curricular laboratory dance band in 1947, when North Texas launched the first jazz degree program in the world. For the next 20 years — until 1967 — North Texas was the only US university that offered a degree in jazz studies.〔''Jazz Educated, man; a sound foundation'', by Philip Allen Scott, American International Publishers, Washington, D.C. (©1973), pg. 19, 〕
== Name ==
The "Lab Band" portion of the name is drawn from the its original long name – "Laboratory Dance Band." Gene Hall, the founding director, coined the phrase in 1946. "Laboratory" signified the school's practical curricular application of artistic disciplines in various music settings such as ensembles, small chamber groups, bands, orchestras, choirs, keyboard ensembles, and guitar ensembles. "Dance" was dropped in the early 1960s, to reflect the wider developing aspects of big band music. The academic degree name, "Dance Band," however, stood until 1978, when it was renamed "Jazz Education" and renamed again in 1981 as "Jazz Studies."
Leon Breeden (1921–2010) presided when "The One O'Clock" was added as part of the official name in the early 1960s. North Texas has several lab bands, each bearing the name of their respective rehearsal times.
When Leon Breeden took over the Lab Band Program in 1959, there were four lab bands, then referred to as "Units:" One O'Clock, Two O'Clock, Three O'Clock, and Five O'Clock. At that time, the Two O'Clock was the premier band,〔''New York Vets: Jazz Band Unit Gets Dallas Date'', ''Denton Record-Chronicle,'' November 3, 1959, pg. 3〕 known as Laboratory Dance Band A.
