Jazz Ensemble

Kartik Sundar, David Brunone, and Brandon Smith warm up on their saxophones

The Georgia Tech Jazz Ensembles and Jazz Combos explore concert jazz works from the late 1920's through the present day, including works by such classic composers as Duke Ellington and Stan Kenton, and contemporary artists Pat Metheny and others. Recent master classes include Maynard Ferguson and Arturo Sandoval.

The Director, Ron Mendola, strives to respond to student interest in organizing small and large ensemble opportunities each semester. Ensemble members develop skills in ensemble playing and in the art and techniques of improvisation through coaching and rehearsal. Participants record annually in studio sessions and in live concerts.

Jazz Ensembles meet 3:05 pm - 4:00 pm on Monday and Wednesday. Semester dues are $15.
