Jazz Combo

MUSE

Conductor:  Dave Wall

Jazz Combo is the ideal ensemble for musicians wanting to delve into improvisation within the context of jazz.  The course combines the study of improvisation with the practical performance of jazz.  In addition to learning jazz repertoire, the ensemble has been described as a 'hands-on' course in arranging.  Vocalists, drummers, as well as bass, brass and keyboard players form jazz combos of 3-5 players each and arrange chosen tunes.  Creativity is encouraged.  Proficiency in voice or an instrument is required.  Membership is by audition.  College credit and university transfer available.  Fall entrance only.
