The Nassau Suffolk Jazz Ensemble is comprised of high-level student musicians in grades nine through twelve from across Long Island. The focus of the ensemble is for the students to explore and become proficient in the varied styles that make up the jazz idiom. Advanced material will be presented and worked on including chart reading, interpreting style and concept. There will also be many opportunities to explore and expand on their knowledge of improvisation during the rehearsal process, and perform a wide range of jazz repertoire at the bi-annual concerts.
