March 9th, 2017 – UW Jazz Standards And Afro-cuban Jazz Ensembles

Two of the Mead Witter School of Music’s student ensembles share the stage.  As its name suggests, the JSE (directed by Professor John Schaffer) specializes in music from the standard jazz repertoire, while the ACJE (directed by trumpeter Eric Siereveld and formerly known as the Latin Jazz Ensemble) focuses on music of the Latin American jazz diaspora, with an emphasis on the rhythmic traditions of Cuba.  7:30 PM, Morphy Recital Hall in the UW Humanities Building.  Free admission.
