Jazz Band
Creative Arts > Jazz Band
The Alton College Jazz Band is a lively ensemble that performs a wide range of music from the jazz standards of Armstrong and Ellington, to the more modern works of Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis and Andy Sheppard, all mixed together with a big dollop of world music.
The Jazz Band plays a large number of concerts each year. Recently they returned from a short concert tour of France and a future visit to Italy is planned.
Most instruments are welcome. An ability to improvise would help, but it is not a requirement.
