SAN ANGELO, Texas — Angelo State University's Jazz Ensembles program will host its first "Jazz Combo Night" of the spring from 4-6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 24, The House of FiFi DuBois, 123 S. Chadbourne St.
Less like a traditional concert and more like an open jam session, the event is free and open to the public.
The ASU Jazz Combo features students performing on trumpet, saxophone, trombone, guitar, piano, bass and drums, along with Dr. Trent Shuey of the ASU music faculty on vibraphone.
Following the jazz combo performance, the stage will be open to anyone in the audience who would like to join in for a jam session. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own instruments and be ready to perform.
The jazz combo is a component of the ASU Jazz Ensembles program, which offers diverse and creative, small- and large-group jazz performance experiences and covers a wide range of styles, including bebop, Latin jazz, free jazz, funk, hip hop and many others.
The Jazz Ensembles program is directed by Shuey, ASU assistant director of bands.
