It promises to be a swinging night of jazz, as Trinity Western University鈥檚 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.
鈥淭hey鈥檙e dynamic, entertaining performers,鈥 says SAMC music professor Jeff Warren, who directs the jazz combo.
鈥淗earing 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.鈥
The senior jazz combo is primarily made up of graduating senior students who have played together for the past four years.
鈥淚t is exciting to see how far they have developed over the years,鈥 Warren said.
鈥淣ow they bring down the house every time they play.鈥
Presented as part of the University鈥檚 fourth annual Festival of the Arts, Media and Culture, which continues until April 15.
