No credit(On Campus)Via focused study of the jazz repertoire and improvisation, students are encouraged to develop as musicians and improvisers through performance, active listening, and transcription. The instrumentation changes from semester-to-semester but generally consists of 3-5 member jazz combos to octets and nonets. A major goal of this ensemble is developing the skill of self-critique and band-leadership. Two hours of rehearsal each week in addition to performances. This group is open to all JBU students. May be repeated.
Prerequisite: audition required Offered on campus Fall and Spring semesters
