Small Jazz Groups

Kei Akagi, coordinator

May 18, 8:00 p.m.

Winifred Smith Hall, Admission is free.

The Small Groups are the jazz combos comprised of four to eight members. Taught by a world-renowned jazz faculty, several Small Group classes are offered every quarter. Emphasis is placed on learning how to play and improvise over both traditional and modern compositional structures. A key element is the development of student leadership skills in effectively conducting a small group on stage. Exposure to the historical and theoretical underpinnings of various jazz improvisation styles is also an integral part of a Small Group class.
