The annual concert will be held for the first time since 2019

MURRAY, Ky. 鈥� The Curris Center Ballroom will host the 澳门开奖结果 Jazz Ensemble for "Swing into Spring 2022" at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 26. The concert is free and open to the public.

The Murray State Jazz Band will be returning to the stage for the first time since the fall semester of 2019.

"We were basically starting over following Covid," said Murray State professor of music and director of Jazz Studies, Dr. Todd E. Hill. "While we could manage recording projects in isolation, the time factors were too great to overcome for multiple jazz ensembles where playing together and reacting to soloists are such a huge part of the curriculum. The jazz band is primarily made up of our younger University students, many of whom missed the opportunity to play in a high school jazz band altogether. I am so proud of these students and their work ethic."

The Jazz Band will perform "The Days of Wine and Roses" by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer, "Here's that Rainy Day" by Johnny Burke and Jimmy VanHuesen, "How Insensitive" by Antonio Carlos Jobim and "Strike Up the Band" by George and Ira Gershwin.
