AZUSA PACIFIC UNIVERSITY(APU) JAZZ ENSEMBLE

The Azusa Pacific University Jazz Ensemble, directed by Robert Slack, MM, holds a reputation of professional-level performance and mastery in a broad spectrum of big band jazz styles. As one of the premiere instrumental ensembles at APU, the Jazz Ensemble keeps a busy schedule of performances that include award-winning appearances at The Monterey Next Generation Jazz Festival and the Reno International Jazz Festival. Taking advantage of the proximity of Los Angeles the group often performs commissioned works by some of the best known composers in Hollywood, and can frequently be found in the studio, recording for some of those same composers. from www.apu.edu
