the United States, on radio, and television. The ensemble is comprised of jazz
studies majors and undergraduate and graduate students who are jazz studies
majors, or majors who are making jazz a part of their musical training. The
ensemble performs UNCG student arrangements and compositions, as well as
published charts. Musicians who have performed with the UNCG Jazz Ensemble

Henson, Marvin Stamm, Billy Taylor, Dick Oatts, Ed Neumeister, and Byron

Every year, the jazz ensemble produces a Compact Disc, which feature both
