Jazz Band Recordings

One of the best ways to get improve your jazz chops is just to listen to more jazz. Here are the current jazz band tunes:

JazzHAWKS:
"Steamroller" Carl Strommen

MADJazz:
"Cool Joe, Mean Joe" arr. Lisa Despain originaly by Benny Golson
"Traces" Sammy Nestico
"Honk" Jeff Jarvis

I got a chance to see Benny Golson at the Eau Claire Jazz Festival. What a great player!

We are playing Cool Joe, and Traces at solo and ensemble contest March 7th.
