For decades the UVA Jazz Ensemble has maintained a vital presence here at the University, first as a student-run extracurricular activity, and more recently, as an accredited course offering of the McIntire Department of Music. Now feels like the right time to present our first recording project. The band is bursting with the talent and energy of our students and community members. We are particularly proud to explore the jazz tradition through our own compositions and arrangements in addition to performing the gems of the past which we love and respect.
Jazz is a tapestry of individual voices.
We sincerely hope you enjoy it. The proceeds from the tape sales go towards music scholarships for Ensemble members and the betterment of the group.
