UMA’s “Jazz Week” series may have to think about changing its name as its concert offerings become more and more diverse! As usual, long-time favorites Jazz on Tour and the Envok Vocal quintet hold down Saturday night. However, the Music Program’s dynamic expansion into popular music is evident in Friday night’s show, which features the new indie-rock Contemporary Sounds group, the Progressive Rock group, and the always-powerful jazz/funk/rock Fusion Ensemble.
Highlights earlier in the week include the debuts of new Music Program Coordinator Tim Weir’s Large Jazz Ensemble (Thursday) and the En Route Standards Ensemble with vocalist Brittany York (also on Thursday). Wednesday brings the irresistible energy of the Latin Jazz Ensemble. Additional instrumental and vocal ensembles round out the week. Admission to all Jazz Week events is free. No tickets or reservations are required. For further information please call Tim Weir, Jazz and Contemporary Music Program Coordinator at 621-3179.
