UCI Small Jazz Groups May 19, 2009

Claire Trevor School of the Arts and Department of Music presents UCI’s Small Jazz Groups in concert.

The Small Groups are the jazz combos comprised of four to eight members. Taught by a world-renowned jazz faculty, several Small Group classes are offered every quarter. Emphasis is placed on learning how to play and improvise over both traditional and modern compositional structures. A key element is the development of student leadership skills in effectively conducting a small group on stage. Exposure to the historical and theoretical underpinnings of various jazz improvisation styles is also an integral part of a Small Group class.
