Artist:
Unified Jazz Ensemble

Description:

The Unified Jazz Ensemble celebrates the birth and development of jazz through different eras - (Dixieland, swing, be-bop and contemporary) focusing on contributors such as Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington and George Gershwin, and including songs both familiar and new to young audiences. Volunteers will be called upon to play certain instruments with the guidance of the ensemble members. The ensemble draws correlations between rhythm, math, music and memory, with a hands-on exploration of jazz instruments and an emphasis on improvisation and teamwork.
