Jazz Ensembles
Jazz Combos
Students who play brass, woodwind, percussion instruments or sing are invited to join
a jazz combo. These ensembles will focus on the fundamentals of improvisation and
will perform small group jazz literature including blues, swing, bebop, cool, hard
bop, fusion, and alternative jazz.
Jazz Ensemble
This ensemble performs standard jazz arrangements as well as the newest contemporary
jazz publications. Performance opportunities include concerts, tours, and special
events. The ensemble also performs with the jazz faculty and/or special guest artists
two or three times a year.
