It promises to be a swinging night of jazz, as Trinity Western University’s School of the Arts, Media and Culture celebrates graduating jazz combo members.
On April 10, two combos will perform jazz in a variety of styles, including pieces from Duke Ellington, Wayne Shorter, Stevie Wonder to student Tyler Dumoulin.
“They’re dynamic, entertaining performers,” says SAMC music professor Jeff Warren, who directs the jazz combo.
“Hearing these musicians play is more than an opportunity to hear great tunes, you get to watch them improvise and create new music on the spot.”
The senior jazz combo is primarily made up of graduating senior students who have played together for the past four years.
“It is exciting to see how far they have developed over the years,” Warren said.
“Now they bring down the house every time they play.”
Presented as part of the University’s fourth annual Festival of the Arts, Media and Culture, which continues until April 15.
