The jazz studies program offers several jazz combos. In these small groups, students are able to work on interaction and improvisation in an intimate setting. With a blend of classic small group repertoire, jazz standards, and student compositions and arrangements, these groups are the cornerstone of the performers' training in jazz studies. The jazz combos often perform at on-campus events, local and regional functions, and much more. The jazz combo program is coordinated by Jazz Artist in Residence Stefan Karlsson.
