The Southern Jazz Combo is a 10-member jazz group founded to allow students the opportunity to become more adept at jazz improvisation. It's a difficult art form that takes years to master. You must not only have a technical command of your instrument, but also have exceptional listening skills and a keen memory. The Nov. 30 concert is another program from the Jazz Studies Department that coincides with Missouri Southern's International Mission and the America Semester.
Jazz is America's musical contribution to the world.
You Are feature individual soloists. Blues for C.J. is a hard-driving swinger that features everyone in the combo. The Southern Jazz Combo concert is free and open to the public. Doors open for the evening concert at 7 p.m. News Bureau Home Missouri Southern State College 3950 E Newman Rd.
