Directed by Tom Marko, Jazz Ensemble I is the premier jazz big band at Illinois State University and is made up of a select group of the university's finest instrumentalists. This outstanding ensemble performs a wide range of big band literature, including all styles from historical to cutting edge. Its members include some of the finest collegiate jazz soloists in Illinois. Their program will include a wide range of styles from swing to ballads to fiery Latin. Of special note will be several selections that feature special guest soloists David Hoffman, Larry Harms and hopefully an additional guest as well!
The Central Illinois Jazz Society House Band will perform during the middle set, under the leadership of Larry Harms. The CIJS House Band features outstanding jazz musicians from the area. They will entertain you with a mixture of jazz styles. This talented group is the heart of our monthly jazz offerings for the jazz fans of Central Illinois. We are grateful to them for their variety of live jazz offerings. Come out and support them.
