MUS 556LAB - Jazz Ensemble Big Band

The UB Jazz Ensemble is a traditional big band consisting of a reed section (saxes with some doubles on flute and clarinet), a brass section (trumpets and trombones), and a rhythm section (piano, guitar, bass, drums and vibes). The band studies and performs repertoire from the early big band swing period to today’s big band contemporary and fusion sounds. Emphasis is on en-semble playing as well as improvisational soloing. Audition is required and can be arranged by visiting https://arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/music/auditions.html.
