Emory Jazz Combos
Tuesdays 5:30-7:30 p.m.
BRB 114, Jazz Rehearsal Studio A
The Emory Jazz Combos give students an opportunity to explore many facets of improvisation in a small group setting. Usually consisting of five to eight members, the primary focus of these groups is on gaining experience in improvising and soloing for each participant. Our groups promote individual expression as well as group interaction and cohesiveness. These ensembles regularly perform for many events both on and off-campus.
