Student jazz ensembles coached by Marc Seales and Steve Rodby pay homage to the icons of jazz and break new ground with original progressive jazz compositions.

Masks are required in all indoor spaces on the UW campus. Capacity in Brechemin Auditorium is limited to 100. Patrons must show proof of vaccination or recent negative provider-administered COVID-19 PCR test for entry to live events at the Music Building. Individuals unable to be fully vaccinated, including children under age five and people with a medical or religious exemption, must have proof of a negative provider-administered COVID-19 PCR test (taken within 72 hours of the performance). UW staff will check for proof of vaccination and negative COVID PCR tests at the doors as a condition of entry. Proof of negative test result must come from a test provider, a laboratory or a health care provider.
