Swing to the sounds of iconic jazz composers with CMC Jazz Ensembles, directed by Erick Peralta. Explore the dynamic grooves, soulful melodies, and evocative harmonies of jazz greats through the ages, from Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter and more. The second set will open up for guests to sit in and join the jam—so bring your instrument and talk to Erick during the break if you want to play!
