ENS 588 - Jazz Combo

Open to all campus musicians, majors and non-majors, members will be placed into one of two groups: “Loose Change,” and auditioned small ensemble, presents a formal concert each semester, and performs for other on and off campus events. The ensemble explores the standard jazz repertory, and frequently focuses on select composers or styles each semester; student compositions are encouraged. Members will typically have had some experience with jazz improvisation. “Jazz Lab Band” continues the high school jazz band experience, explores literature that can be taught in public school settings, and introduces improvisation studies. This is a variable credit course; credit amount can be selected at course registration.
