University Of Connecticut Jazz Combos at von der Mehden Recital Hall

About

Under the guidance and direction of faculty members, students work together within assigned combos to develop proficiency in the art of jazz improvisation and small-group jazz performance. Groups are often organized according to themes in which the repertoire of a specific jazz composer or genre is addressed. To prepare students for professional performance situations, the memorization of standard jazz repertoire is expected. Combos perform frequently on and off campus. Performances are given throughout Connecticut.
